Port to Build ‘Green’
The Port of Long Beach is making plans to build a new “green” headquarters building as it pursues a larger program to clean up the air at the complex.The nine-story, $218 million structure would replace its current cramped headquarters, which was built nearly five decades ago.
The new building will include a variety of environmental features, including a design that uses natural light to cut energy usage, which the port says will qualify it for environmental certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
“This upfront investment would give us long-term savings on energy costs, a more efficient workplace and more publicly accessible facilities,” said Richard Steinke, the port’s executive director, in a statement.
The port plans to gather comments from the public before proceeding with construction, which would take about five years to complete.
The announcement comes as the port pursues a plan that would replace thousands of old, diesel-spewing trucks that carry goods to local warehouses. The port complex, which includes the neighboring Los Angeles port, is the largest single contributor to air pollution in Los Angeles.

Santa Monica Extends Smoking Ban into Residential Territory
February, 2009- Santa Monica is known for its already severe anti-smoking legislation. City Council has passed further measures to safeguard residents against secondhand smoke. The new law regulates smoking in common areas of multi-family residences including apartment buildings and condos. Victims of secondhand smoke can file a civil action which can award them up to $100 in damages or order legal injunction. It is necessary that the victim of secondhand smoke attempts to reach a solution with the smoker and provides written notice before these matters are brought to court. Some tenants rights organizations feel that this bill goes too far into regulating residents lives, while some health organizations feel that these anti-smoking measures are too soft. This reaction is par for the course with the polarizing smoking issue.
