Get Involved in Composting
Learn more about composting by visiting LA Compost at the Atwater Village Farmers' Market. Look for their booth on the Larga Street side of the market.
All food scraps collected will be processed locally and turned into finished compost that will enrich soils for food growing and greening projects throughout the city.

Bike to Work...
CiBiC is an experimental transportation research project to encourage group bike commuting among residents of the Northeast LA neighborhoods of Chinatown, Solano Canyon, Lincoln Heights, Cypress Park, William Mead Homes, and adjacent areas. 
 
We’re asking people to try commuting to work on bicycles in small groups – a cheaper, healthier, more sustainable, and potentially more satisfying alternative to cars.
 
It’s like carpooling but on bikes!
