WHAT: The BREATHE LA Pollution & Solutions Salon Series is a new and engaging discussion of clean air, the environment and healthy living--launched in June 2008

“Sinful Behavior: Is Pollution the 8th Deadly Sin?”

WHEN: Thursday, October 23, 2008 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

WHERE: The California Endowment, 1000 Alameda Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (There is plenty of free parking on the premises; Metrolink Exit – Union Station only 2 blocks away.)

WHY: Global warming and climate change have become part of the national lexicon and religion continues to look at the nexus between pollution, solutions and what could be construed by some as “sinful behavior.” Come hear several faith leaders offer their thoughts on the relationship between spirituality, humanity and the environment.

FYI: It is open to the public and there is no cost to attend the BREATHE LA salons. Coffee and a light breakfast will be served.
