Huge carbon clouds, blk & dirty, are floating all over the world. They're from the industrial mess in China. During the mid-90s I spent time there, in my incarnation as fashion designer. They put their best faces on when doing business. Constantly In the company of young English-speaking translators & execs--smart, funny, curious-- during downtime I would be taken to non-stop 10-course meals at exotic restaurants. Working in an industrial zone, on a few occasions I saw the mess hidden behind the factories. The Chinese-PEOPLE & GOV. are ravenous--they can't get enuff of Western lifestyle!!! Economic growth has been the ticket out of poverty. The pollution caused by China is a FAR GREATER PROBLEM than imagined. It will come home to roost. A free Tibet & pollution safeguards will not happen!!! & THE CO-DEPENDENT RELATIONSHIP W/ THE US WILL NOT STOP!!!

Moving on to LA. The million trees Mayor Villaraigosa proposes for LA are not the iconic palm (HIS PEOPLE said nix) but dirty, disease-prone sycamores. I've lived w/ both. Palms are it!!! Someone w/an "in" & a million sycamores probably got a sweet contract??? No???

A nod to giants: Clorox bought Bert's Bees & opened GreenWorks, a new mass-market environmentally friendly product line; Google is bankrolling renewable energy R&D.
