🚉 EJSI's second land module took our cohort from the streets to the mountains via the METRO public transit and a shuttle service as part of a pilot of Nature for All's Transit to Trails program. 🏙️ Our students learned how the built environment affects one's accessibility to nature. They also learned how to take the METRO train and how increasing public transit routes helps increase equitable access to nature as well as combat global warming that causes climate change. 🌄 We live in the San Gabriel Valley with the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains National Monument in our backyard, but how many of us have actually visited? There are still a lot of communities who don't have access to them, whether due to a lack of transportation or barriers related to language and information. Hence, Transit to Trails' goal is to make nature accessible for all. ⛰️ If you are interested in joining a future Transit to Trails program pilot, send us a DM so we caNature For AllhSierra ClubaSierra Club Angeles ChaptereMetro Los AngelesC#Transit2Trailss#transit2trailsseasoni#gometros#publictransitn#2024ejsi #ejsii#environmentaljusticeJ#environmentalhealtht#summer2024n#equitye#protectourenvironmentt#earthlspreciousi#SanGabrielValleyr#sangabrielmountainsl#sgv##youthr#summerprogramS#SanGabrielMountainsForevera#RecreateResponsiblye#leavenotraceResponsibly #LeaveNoTrace … See MoreSee Less

Hosting a produce distribution starts in the early morning when our Distribution Coordinator promptly picks up gleaned fruits and vegetables from our food aggregator partner, Food Forward, with our Food Roots LA refrigerated van and delivers to our distribution site, Los Angeles State Historic Park. Simultaneously, the rest of APIFM’s Food Roots Harvest (FRH) team and a LASHP staff member set up the packing station inside the Welcome Pavilion, a resource table outside, and at least 50 accommodating chairs for the older adults waiting for the distribution to start. Once the pallets of produce arrive, the team unloads, quality inspects, and packs the produce into paper bags. During the packing process, the FRH team distributes numbered tickets to the folks waiting in line—which they will exchange for a produce bag. Once packing finishes and tickets are disbursed, produce distribution begins! The numbers are called out in Cantonese, Toisan, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and English. The community waits for their number to be called. When it is, they trade their ticket for a produce bag. What else do you spot in this video?
A Day in the Life: Hosting a Produce Distribution
Did you know we live in a watershed? It's important we understand why watersheds are so important to the quality and quantity of water we have access to. Check out this video to learn more about ways we can protect our watershed and ensure we have safe, clean drinking water for our community. APIFM's Water is Life project aims to educate our community in the West San Gabriel Valley on water conservation and water projects in our neighborhoods. To find more resources, visit our website: www.apifm.org/water. To learn more about these water issues and ways to get involved, join our Sustainable SGV Coalition and meet other residents who are passionate about cultivating safe and healthy communities: bit.ly/ssgvcoalition
