Join the County in Reducing Plastic Bag Litter!
Did you know that Los Angeles County residents consume
approximately six billion plastic bags each year? The County is
committed to reducing the amount of plastic bags that end up
along roadways or in storm drains, or make their way to the
ocean. Here are a few simple things you can do to help:
• Use canvas (or other reusable bags) when shopping
• Give your clean plastic bags back to your grocer for recycling
• Reuse plastic bags you have on subsequent shopping trips
• Insist on recycled-content paper bags at the market
For more information on this and other efforts, call
(888)CLEAN LA or log onto www.888CleanLA.com.
New Law Regarding Cell Phone Use in
California Takes Effect July 1, 2008
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reminds
you that effective July 1, 2008, California law will:
• Prohibit the use of “hand-held” cell phones among drivers
18 years and older, except for emergency calls to law
enforcement and public safety agencies, and for certain
commercial vehicles for which the law’s effective date is
July 1, 2011.
• Prohibit a driver under the age of 18 years from using ANY
wireless device, even if equipped with a hands-free or
mobile service device, except during an emergency.
Digital Television
In less than a year, the country will change the way it sends
television signals. Your TV signal is switching to “digital.” After
February 17, 2009, most of the old analog signals will be gone
and most of the stations will use only the new digital signals.
What does this mean to you?
• If all of your TVs are hooked up to cable or satellite, you will
continue to get your TV after the switch. Check with your
cable or satellite company to be sure.
• If you have digital TV, you are ready for the switch. If your
TV is more than 10 years old it probably is not digital. If it
is less than 10 years old, ask the manufacturer if your TV
is “analog-only.”
• If you have an analog-only TV with a roof top antenna or
“rabbit ears,” you will need to purchase a converter box.
