Hope for Sustainability in LA

Everyone's been talking about California's water shortage, and I came across a great story about an entreprenuer who has been working to heal the environment and help the people of LA since 1973. Andy Lipkis is the founder of TreePeople, which he created at age 18. He has been very successful at implementing forest-inspired technologies to make cities more sustainable while also mitigating floods and pollution. Most recently, Los Angeles's Mayor Garcetti proposed a sustainability plan (pLAn) on April 8th, which TreePeople proudly supports and has offered to work with city agencies, local businesses and community organization to help achieve this plan.
