City of LA Announces New Water Restrictions & Rate Plan
Traditionally, single-family homes are allotted a certain volume of water at “Tier 1″ pricing. The allotment is determined by”lot size, temperature zone, time of year and the number of persons in the household.” This year that allotment is being cut by 15%. Any customer who exceeds their allotment will be paying for the difference at the Tier 2 price (roughly double Tier 1 pricing normally reserved for multi-family and commercial customers).
Spam Causing Large Amount of GHG Emissions
When McColo was taken offline in 2008 the results were energy savings equivalent to 2.2 million cars off the road. Most of the energy use associated with spam happens in the deleting process. Which means that opening and sifting through inboxes for legitimate mail, or opening an unwanted e-mail to take yourself off their list actually increases the amount of energy used.

As the fashion forward mavens that we are, we also choose to keep our philosophies on our backs, literally. We tout organic and vintage threads understanding the practices that some fashion labels are doing in the name of style are not acceptable.
