Give Back This Summer: volunteer to help people in need, animals, or our environment.

If you go to the beach or go on a hike: don't leave any trash and pick up any that you see. Always remember your reusable water bottle and reusable bag!

Palisades Cares Bike Week Raffle Update.  During LA's Bike Week, several Palisades kids rode their bikes to school, most accompanied by a parent. In addition, a couple of adults rode their bikes to work. Thanks to the Pacific Palisades Junior Women's Club and Taste Restaurant for donating the raffle prizes. Harry Johnson won the raffle prize for riding his bike to work downtown. It took him 2 1/4 hours to go to work and 3 hours to bike back.

Green Thought for the Day-Say no to straws. Do you use a straw at home? Why do you need one when you are at a restaurant or at Starbucks?
