Altadena-based Waste Less Living was recently recognized by the Los Angeles Regional Agency (LARA) for its efforts and for its efforts and success at helping homeowners, businesses and schools reduce their waste through the practice of composting. 

LARA is a consortium of 16 member cities in Los Angeles County. The Agency was formed by environmentally conscious recycling advocates from the member cities. In 2004, the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) approved the formation of LARA as a regional agency whose mission is to assist members in meeting and exceeding the 50% waste diversion mandates of State Assembly Bill 939.

For the Sierra Madre Community Nursery School, Waste Less Living was a corporate sponsor and was instrumental in diverting approximately 306.2 lbs of compostable waste from going to the landfill.  Waste Less Living was recently contracted to conduct a solid waste audit for High Point Academy.

Waste Less Living is also sponsoring an "Eco-Mom's Night Out" on June 25, 6-8 PM at Cafe Culture, 1359 E. Altadena Dr., Pasadena:
