People around the world were thinking about the environment last friday as they observed “Park(ing) Day.” Folks in cities across the U.S., as well as Europe, Australia and even South Africa celebrated this new global event. Nature-loving citizens take over metered parking spots and turn them - temporarily - into public parks. Kaj Goldberg has one story from very dry Los Angeles, where the message was to use less water by planting drought-resistant plants.
