This is an Orange Alert for all you West Siders living L.A. The center of our green universe is about to lose it’s anchor. I am talking about Abbot Kinney, and all those greenish businesses which are starting to dominate the street. The anchor company epOxyGreen on the corner of Venice Blvd and Abbot Kinney is pulling up it’s roots and heading North. Well, only a few blocks North, to the traffic chocked artery of Lincoln Blvd. They are moving in with our friends at Sander Architects in the belly of the Orange Office. From the email Catherine sent over, it sounds like they leased the bottom two floors.
epOxyGreen over the last few years has transformed their business to focus on green design and home improvement. opOxyGreen grew out of opOxybOx which is a gallery and event spot. Some time ago, the gallery started filling up with green paints, bamboo floor samples and assorted furnishings. Now with a larger space and a prime location on one of L.A. busiest streets, maybe epOxyGreen is about to transform it’s self once again. Photos after the jump

Favoring natural materials over harmful, man-made ones, Arbor strives to provide the athlete or enthusiast with the best style and performance they can create with least amount of environmental impact.
I just read about this and found the full test results that found bisphenol A (BPA) in over 55% of cans tested from the supermarket. This is very scary and alarming, as canned foods make up about 17% of the U.S. diet. As well as canned pet food. In a test of 400 adult and children, they detected BPA in 95% of them.
