00:37:03 Ardilla Deneys: :)
00:37:27 donnylwhite: Thanks Elena. Are there any initiatives to incentivize LA manufacturing to be more green and utilize clean energy?

01:32:25 STEPHANIE PINCETL: LA SAN has an interactive museum facility devoted to this question near Pacoima, it is awesome
01:33:26 Karri Ann Frerichs: LACI also has an amazing campus in DTLA that demonstrates various ways your home can become more “Circular” (but campus isn’t open now due to Covid)
01:36:54 Sophia Wu: Question for Professor Pincetl - As an urban planner, I’m curious if you see any unique challenges that LA faces in reaching circularity/diverting waste from a planning perspective
01:37:02 Kelly Ferguson - LACI: I encourage people to learn more about LACI’s APC Fellowship program - https://laincubator.org/apcfellowship/. I think there is a huge opportunity here to align training and job opportunities with circular economy needs as Stephanie has pointed out.
