ALL TIME LOW - Ragged

Not all cities are created equally when it comes to being bike friendly. In
Los Angeles, where merely driving a car is frightening enough, only the
brave bike. Alexis Lantz is working hard to change that. She’s “dedicated
to creating a better, more bike-able Los Angeles County, where people
of all ages and abilities can safely bicycle to meet their daily needs.”
Currently, she is working for the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition
as its Planning and Policy Director. It’s pretty fitting that one of her
favorite songs is “Tonight the Streets Are Ours” by Richard Hawley (“I
wish I had a stereo on my bike so when I ride around at night with friends
I could blare that song!”).

These days, it feels like everyone is doing their part to go green: driving a Prius, bringing a canvas bag to the grocery store, turning off the
water when they brush their teeth. But French-born Cesar Harada is a pretty tough act to follow as he juggles three benevolent projects,
which have earned him honors like a prestigious 2010 TED Fellowship. A fleet of oil spill–cleaning robots called Protei has presently brought
him to New Orleans. Harada’s other two projects include an International Ocean Station and WEA (World Environmental Action), an
“environment crowd-sourcing platform” in which you can text, Tweet, email and picture-message about environmental problems and have
them documented, time-stamped and eventually addressed. His musical taste is just as eclectic as his impressive résumé.
