The Bite:
imageLooking for a gift that they'll really like for a ch-ch-ch-ch-change? Turn and face the Starter Kit for Change as a birthday or un-birthday present. Assembled here in LA, each kit is filled with items great for eco-newbies, including a recycled, reusable tote bag, a plantable seedling, fair-trade hot ch-ch-chocolate, a CFL bulb, and a mini treeless journal (small enough to fit in the back pocket of our skinny Ziggy Stardust-esque jeans). Now only if we could change time...
Wanna Try: 
Starter Kit for Change, available at Flounce Vintage, 1555 Echo Park Ave. at Morton Ave., Echo Park (213-481-1975). Kit, $40.

Cocktail Fact

The pupil of David Bowie's left eye will not expand or contract. Legend has it that his eye was damaged during a fight with George Underwood over a girl.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters opt for a 100% recycled notebook instead of a nonrecycled one, we'll avert the weight of 73 writing desks in virgin paper.
