Weaving Through LA Traffic on ‘Motorcycle’ Santa Monica-based Split cutting through traffic on a three-wheeled motorcycle By Keldine Hull California is the only state to allow motorcyclists to “lane split” and a new company founded in Santa Monica is taking advantage of this by offering a ridesharing service where passengers ride on the back of a three-wheeled motorcycle weaving through LA traffic. David Masoulf, co-founder of Split Rides LLC, created the service known as “Split” to address the frustration he felt when trying to get to and from Santa Monica from Downtown Los Angeles. “You don’t want to go 10 miles on a Lime bike or scooter. Whenever I get in the back of an Uber, the car always gets stuck in traffic,” Masoulf explained. “And so there really wasn’t a

fast way to get around at all. We were basically asking the question, ‘how do we get a fast way to get across town that’s also safe and affordable?’” A Split ride from Santa Monica to Downtown at 6 p.m. on a Tuesday, November 12 cost $22 while a shared Lyft ride cost $30 and a normal Lyft cost $42 at the same time. According to Masoulf, safety is one of the top priorities when hiring drivers. “We have better drivers than Lyft or Uber, and a lot of that comes down to how you actually choose the drivers,” Masoulf explained. “First of all, all the drivers are over 25 years old. Even though the vehicles themselves don’t require a motorcycle license, we require a motorcycle license. They have to an in-person interview.” Masoulf added that drivers must have clean records, with no accidents within the last five years or DUI’s. “On top of that, they have to complete a driving test,” Masoulf continued. “We have to see how they actually handle the vehicles. There’s a lot of things we’re doing with vetting the driv-

Samohi Students Win International Environmental Competition Team Marine takes first place in Bow Seat Marine Debris Creative Advocacy Competition By Chad Winthrop Team Marine, a student-run environmental research and advocacy organization at Santa Monica High School (Samohi) recently won first place in the international Bow Seat Marine Debris Creative Advocacy Competition, bringing home $5,000. “Our team learned so many critical skills and lessons during this year-long project and we are so excited to continue and broaden our activism efforts. We look forward to working with new and existing partners in the future,” Anastasia Shakh-

idzhanova, co-captain of Team Marine, said. “We are so grateful to Bow Seat for their ongoing support of youth and the plastic-free movement. Their programs consistently bring light to the plastic pollution problem, an environmental issue that is often overlooked.” The students involved were Shakhidzhanova, Siri Storstein-Norgaard, Ansel Garcia-Langley, Isabel Homberg Reissmeier, Nikita Bahadur, Jay Cho, Kian Taheri, Lilly Chertock, Catherine Todd, Karina Wisen and Daniel Thurmond. “So stoked for this crew of eco-warriors. It’s another youth win for ecosystems and the planet. Now, for the adults to join the movement” Team Marine advisor and Samohi science teacher Benjamin Kay said. Bow Seat launched this annual competition in 2016 with support from a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program. Team Marine’s

campaign consisted of a multifaceted approach targeting three local stakeholders: Samohi students, their district’s board of education and Santa Monica community members. “This project taught me that creativity is the best way to get individuals to rethink their habits and become guardians of our planet,” Isabel Homberg Reissmeier, co-captain of Team Marine, said. Team Marine launched their project in response to the copious amount of single-use plastics they found in their local storm drain that empties into the Santa Monica Bay, recognizing that the solution must come from both individuals and governing bodies. However, plastic pollution and climate crises continue and Team Marine urges governments to continue adopting progressive environmental legislation. During the 2017-2018 school year, Team Ma-

Westside Doctor Arrested After Asking Minor for Sexually Explicit Photos

Man Stabbed Near Library, Suspects Arrested Man suffers arterial stabbing By S am C atanzaro After a man was found bleeding profusely with a laceration around his neck and brachial artery last Wednesday near the Santa Monica Public Library, the Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) have arrested two suspects involved in the stabbing incident. On November 6, 2019, at approximately 7 p.m., SMPD officers were in the area of 700 block of Santa Monica Boulevard when they observed a male bleeding “profusely” from his arm. “Officers on scene provided emergency med-

ical aid in order to prevent significant blood loss. The male subject had a laceration to his neck and a significant laceration to his brachial artery,” said SMPD Lieutenant Candice Cobarrubias. According to Cobarrubias, the victim was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment and is in stable condition. SMPD’s Criminal Investigation Division was able to identify the two suspects involved in the stabbing incident and an arrest was made around 1:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon. On November 12 the LAX District Attorney filed one count of Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Great Bodily Injury and one count of Resisting Arrest against a suspect in the case Jalen Markeith Perrot, 27. Bail has been set at $105,000. At this time a court date has not been set.

Longtime medical correspondent arrested on suspicion of contacting a minor with the intent to commit sexual acts By S am C atanzaro

Dr. Bruce M. Hensel, the former KNBC medical correspondent, was arrested Wednesday morning at his Pacific Palisades home for asking a 9-year-old girl to send him sexually suggestive pictures, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). The 71-year-old Hensel was brought into custody on suspicion of contacting a minor with the intent to commit sexual acts at 10:15 a.m. by LAPD Juvenile Division investigators, said spokesperson for the department. Hensel is being held on $5,000 bail. According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Hensel is charged with requesting the images from the daughter of an acquaintance through a messaging app on or about August 4. If convicted as charged, Hensel faces a possible

maximum sentence of 18 months in state prison. On October 16, the Los Angeles Regional Internet Crime Against Children Task Force served a search warrant at Hensel’s Palisades and removed items from the hillside house as part of the investigation, according to the LAPD. Further details about the case were not immediately released. Hensel served as a medical correspondent for KNBC in Los Angeles for nearly 30 years winning multiple Emmys for his reporting in addition to honors from medical organizations. In 2018 Hansel co-directed and produced a Showtime documentary about transgender relationships called “Beyond the Opposite Sex.”

Last Sunday a “large amount” of medical supplies, including 100 hypodermic needles, washed ashore on Venice Beach, forcing authorities to close part of the beach. Four days later, the source of the needles remains unknown. According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Lifeguard Division at around 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, November 10, lifeguards observed a large amount of medical supplies along the shoreline south of the Venice Beach Pier and cordoned off the area for several hours. The materials were reported to have included over 100 hypodermic needles and lancets, tools used to prick the skin for collecting blood samples. There have been no reported injuries related to medical supplies. The source of the needles and medical supplies is not currently known as the incident remains under investigation. The incident has some Venice Beach residents surprised and worried “I’ve never seen anything like that before,” Mike Bonasede, a Venice resident, told NBC 4. “I’ve seen single needles here and there, probably from people on land. But my guess is somebody probably dumped that stuff, the way it was washed up there.” “It’s obviously very disturbing, you know. Hopefully, someone can figure out where it came from so it never happens again,” added Michael Gaspark, another Venice resident. The Santa Monica Mirror has reached out to the Los Angeles County Department

of Public Health (Public Health) and LA County Lifeguards. Public Health said that lifeguards contacted the LA County Fire Health Hazmat who along with the Department of Beaches and Harbors responded and performed the cleanup of the medical supplies. Public Health directed further questions regarding the source of the needles to LA County Lifeguards. LA County Lifeguards in a tweet said that authorities will continue to patrol the area by land and sea to monitor for any further materials but at the time of publishing have not responded with further information regarding the source of the needles.

A Look at New City Administration Building SMa.r.t. Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow

Sustainable Design or Vanity Project? Santa Monica's residents may have noticed a new office structure that is nearing completion adjacent to our historic City Hall. If you were wondering what it is, it's the City's new Administration wing. The project's design is in response

to the Living Building Challenge whose goal is to promote the adoption of the latest in sustainable technology for large public projects. The program outlines a design program that advances the "highest standards of sustainability". It goes beyond the normal 'checklist' to include a series of performance goals and benchmarks that must be achieved to attain their highest rating. Their goal is to encourage competing project teams to find new, creative ways for buildings, with differing challenges, to attain sustainability. Our City rose to their challenge and claims that when Santa Monica's new City Administration building is completed, it will be the 'greenest municipal building in the world'. In

THE REALITIES OF HAVING AN ESTATE SALE By Ron Wynn

People have many reasons for getting rid of their stuff, but most often an estate sale is for exactly what it says. It’s to liquidate a home of its contents after someone passes away or possibly when someone has moved in with children or to an assisted living home that cannot accommodate one’s personal furnishings and accumulated possessions. I’ve seen people stress out, siblings become frustrated to the point of anger, and families split to impasse, missing perfect opportunities having far more financial impact. Let’s eliminate the 5% of all estate sales that include mega value signed art, rare watch collections, exotic cars, furs, coins and elaborate and significant pieces of high-value jewelry. The 95% of remaining estate sales have ordinary to antique furniture, art, various collectables, rugs, vases, porcelain, glass, garage machinery and tools, silverware, tea sets, fine china, etc. Typically, the dollar amount offered by a dealer is 20 cents on the dollar for value, or perhaps a consignment arrangement might be proposed with 35% commission. If the estate sale company guarantees everything to be sold and the residence to be left broom swept, the likelihood is the estate sale professional will rarely offer to sign on for less than 40% commission with a minimum guarantee payment to them in some cases. A typical furnished home of under 4,000 square feet will usually end up compensating the homeowner from a nominal amount to $25,000, unless the owner is piece by piece selling which is tremendously time consuming with no guarantees. Garage sales have become a Sunday sport for people who are bargain hunters, usually not intending to spend more than $200 unless they are shopping for something specific. Of course there are always dealers with no money constraints waiting to jump on rare undervalued items to which the owner is clueless to value. There are many sad victories quite often where the dealer has the value knowledge and the uninformed owner is simply dumping contents of the home. At the end of the story, my advice is the following: If you have reasons to believe that you have some exceptionally valuable pieces, by all means, have the estate’s contents appraised by a licensed fee appraiser. Always have hand-made antique rugs, fine jewelry and significant pieces of art appraised by an appropriate specialist. Meet with family to discuss who will get what, and how to move forward with the process. Know in advance that emotions and in some cases family disfunction might jump in when unexpect-

ed. Jealousy or resentment among siblings is a true, but unfortunate reality in some cases. Keep your belongings insured and secured if they have value and take photographs before allowing anyone near anything. Keep a close eye out for item lifters if you are conducting your own sale. Know in advance that there are a fair share of thieves and also unethical dealers, but there are also many wonderful, honest and helpful people too. Consider the give to charity and get the write off deduction. There are appraisers who will document value in a legitimate and acceptable way for IRS to be satisfied. As a significant last item, go back to the 95% of all cases. Don’t risk getting into fights with family members, stressing yourself out and killing yourself by doing tons of work and hosting numerous estate sales thinking that you will make big bucks and in the meantime lose out on the best selling season for selling the house. A good bidding war with the proper preparation and guidance may easily produce a selling price $100,000 over the fair market value simply based on timing, limited supply and exceptionally strong demand, which can end up adding significant amounts to your walk away cash equity, while stressing out and losing sleep over what the estate sale will end up producing in dollars. As a real estate advisor and skilled negotiator for over 30 years, I have seen both: 1) Homeowners miss the golden opportunity while squabbling over estate sale issues and 2) Homeowners making three times the money from overbids while selling the house in comparison to what they ultimately pocketed from an elaborate estate sale. Call me to discuss these and other thoughts or email Ron@RonWynn.com.

leaving and leave our residents suffering from shade, traffic, pollution and lack of open space. The irony of our City overspending for a sustainable project while simultaneously allowing for the construction of a non-sustainable project is perhaps lost on our City leaders. Ironically, as our City Manager has stated in the past that " “iconic buildings do not make great cities or environments, human scaled buildings that relate to each other do … every city has its own character and Santa Monica should not stray from its identity.” In regard to economic sustainability, we’ve just been told that water rates will double in the next 5 years to guarantee funding reserves while spending an extra $100 million for the city hall annex, the city is busy building a $2.3 million restroom at Clover Park ($4,600/sf !!) which is months overdue, a $.5 million mural in a back stairwell in city hall, $9 million budgeted for outside public relations, and of course the $25 million spent to fight district voting in order to save their council seats. And all this while the city’s busy running meetings on our “well-being.” But all this hypocrisy seems to be lost on our City's civil servants who seem more interested in promoting the cause of outside developers above those to whom they should be both protecting and serving. Ultimately, fiscal, social and environmental sustainability go "hand in hand". At their core, they are both there to serve the greater good for all citizens. When City leaders, under the guise

There’s also about a foot of space between the passenger and driver and two backrests. Even though many riders have never ridden a motorcycle or scooter before, according to Masoulf, they feel safe with Split. “One of the things we see coming up time and time again is about 95 percent of the passengers have never ridden on a motorcycle or scooter ever,” Masoulf explained. “They love the fact that the drivers are safe and confident. And I think that’s why people have been coming back for the service.” According to a waiver riders agree upon before requesting their first trip with Split, users are made aware that “riding on a motorcycle is an inherently dangerous activity and involves risks that may cause serious injury and in some cases death.” “I am aware that a motorcycle lacks many safety features that are otherwise present in automobiles,” the agreement reads. “Riding a motorcycle may cause the rider to fall or be jolted, resulting in serious injury or death. I further acknowledge that the roads may include, natural hazards and man-made hazards such as cracks, curbs, potholes, and the like – all of which may cause me, the rider or the driver to experience injury or death.” The agreement, which also makes riders financially responsible for any medical services

of environmental shepherds, stray from their stated duty, they need to be held to account for their actions. To do otherwise is to squander our limited means to protect both our environment and our residents. The current "half-baked" planning decisions and their consequences are neither sustainable nor acceptable. To put shortterm gain before long term community and environmental needs is not the path to sustainability. This dynamic needs to change if we are to protect our natural and social resources. There is too much at stake to do otherwise. Thane Roberts and Ron Goldman for SMa.r.t. (Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow) Robert H.

required in the event of a crash, has users promise not to sue Split for using their services. Individuals must be over the age of 18 to use Split and riders combined with their cargo, stowed in a rear box, cannot exceed 200 pounds. In addition, individuals with a history of epileptic seizures and heart conditions cannot take a split. Riders are also barred from using phones while on a Split and also while riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited as well. A few months after officially launching Split, Masoulf says he wants to change the way Angelenos get around town. “Going back to the where this all started, it’s really about reducing congestion in the city,” Masoulf continued. “I love Los Angeles. If I have to drive to Santa Monica from Downtown, or I have to go to Culver City, there’s a lot of times where I almost don’t want to go. The thing that gets me excited is when passengers say they change their habits now with where they go. We had a girl who goes to a yoga class three or four times a week and said, ‘I would not normally go to this class, but this allows me to get there every time on time.’ And so that’s what’s really exciting, actually seeing people being able to reduce congestion and not have it impact their lives.” While still under the radar, Masaoulf added that they’ve had enough return riders to realize that Split could grow to become a more popular option for commuters. “At the end of the day, there’s really kind of an alternative to us all driving cars here in Los Angeles, and I think this is hope for that alternative. People keep coming back to use the service, and that tells us that there’s definitely something here.”

OPINION

Should State Triple Its EV Subsidy?

cal of EV buyers doesn’t look high to Ting, but it surely does to many others. One 2018 poll found two-thirds of voters did not want to pay for wealthier people to buy electric vehicles. The website of the Washington, D.C.-based Energy Equality Coalition (funded in part by the oil-centered owners of Koch Industries), declares that EVs today are “Built by billionaires, bought by millionaires (and subsidized by the rest of us).” There’s also the fact that EV owners pay no gasoline taxes, so they do little to help pay for the roads on which they drive. In short, Ting wants an essentially unfair program in hopes it will make EVs a major automotive factor. But that has not yet happened despite half a decade of subsidies, state and federal.

TOM ELIAS Mirror Columnist

Phil Ting is adamant about it. California needs to triple its subsidies for electric vehicles right now. But he might have to reduce his goal for the subsidy if he expects his bill to pass the Legislature when it returns from its current recess. For sure, the subsidy expansion plan from Ting, a Democratic assemblyman from San Francisco, will be back. As proposed, it would triple a typical car buyer’s rebate for buying an electric auto to $7,500, with reductions over time as California gets closer to its stated goal of 5 million zero emission vehicles on the road by 2030. Said Ting, a former county assessor/recorder of San Francisco reelected to the state Assembly with an 80 percent majority last year, “California still has a long way to go – at the beginning of 2019, there were only 550,000 clean cars…on our roads.” But tripling the state rebate for EVs raises other questions, mostly about fairness and equity. Because electric vehicles generally cost thousands of dollars more than comparable gasoline models, the Ting proposal amounts to a subsidy for the well-to-do. In fact, it would make up for the federal EV and plug-in hybrid subsidies President Trump has set out to eliminate as early as next year. Already, federal subsidies for Tesla and General Motors EVs have run out, because those companies long ago passed the 200,000unit sales level at which the U.S. support ends, intended as it was to jump-start new concepts into public acceptance. Ting may not have thought much about the issue of fairness – why should someone who can afford a $50,000-plus Tesla get a subsidy for driving a luxury car while the less wealthy struggle to buy conventional used cars for $5,000 to $10,000? But remember, Ting was once the property tax assessor in the city that ranks either first or second in America in real estate prices, with no ceiling in sight on those. The high prices of EVs may not look so hefty to him, living as he does in his city’s Sunset

“Why should someone who can afford a $50,000-plus Tesla get a subsidy for driving a luxury car while the less wealthy struggle to buy conventional used cars for $5,000 to $10,000?” writes Tom Elias in his latest column.

District, where it’s hard to find a fixer-upper house for under $1.3 million. In fact, a 2018 study by the conservative Pacific Research Institute found 79 percent of electric and plug-in tax credits were claimed by households with adjusted gross incomes topping $100,000 per year, while a 2015 UC Berkeley study similarly found that “the top income quintile (top 20 percent) has received about 90 percent of all EV credits.” But Ting is convinced putting more EVs on the road is the key to combating climate change. “Forty percent of greenhouse gas emissions stem from transportation,” he said on introducing his plan, known legislatively this year as AB 1046. “We need bigger incentives now to get more zero emission vehicles on the road and slow our climate crisis.” Ting said he deliberately designed his proposal so rebates would drop gradually. “There is no real incentive to buy or lease a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) right now if consumers know the rebate level will be the same year after year,” he said. “But if consumers have certainty that the rebates will diminish as time goes on, they might act sooner rather than later.” That logic might in fact increase ZEV sales. But it doesn’t speak to the fact government rebates for expensive products

By Whitney Scott Bain

“Final Frequency” starring Lou Ferrigno, Jr. Charles Shaughnessy, Kirby Bliss Blanton, Richard Burgi and Kim Estes is a dynamic and exciting film to be released in 2020 that deals with Nikola Tesla’s lost notebook of inventions that starting a race against time to retrieve it before it falling into the hands of rogue scientists. Director John David Ware of 168 Film Project, having been a veteran director of several kids films some which included his talented 11-year-old daughter, handles the story and action seamlessly. Producer Derrick Warfel of Winter Star Productions did an excellent job putting together the project with a talented cast who took time out of their busy schedules to talk about the film during this year’s American Film Market. – First up, Lou Ferrigno, jr: Whitney Scott Bain- What attracted you to the project? Lou Ferrigno, Jr- Nikola Tesla was never given credit for many of the scientific creations we use today. He was a genius ahead of his time yet, there are inventions of his that experimented with that were too dangerous to reveal to the world and what if these inventions fell into the wrong hands such as Tesla’s earthquake and sound gun devices. What is your character like? He’s an LAPD police officer who was kicked

off the force for doing the right thing and blackballed. He’s an honorable man and the only job he can get is as a campus security guard at a local university. He has blips of awkwardness at times, sometimes even comedic moments, but he’s got a calculating mind. He’s a team player and never lets his friends down; a saber of humanity. Did you do your own stunts for this film? Some, but Oliver Keller, who is my stunt double on the SWAT TV series, did the heavy duty ones. What made you gravitate towards acting? Born and raised in this industry I was always around it, on the sets, seeing my dad made up as the Hulk or some other creature, so I really wasn’t interested in it as a kid. I thought of my

FERRIGNO,

from page 12 dad as a body builder first before an actor. He’s 325 lbs. My mom was the driving force behind my success. I tried out for a part on Days of Our Lives, got it and kept going after that. What are your current projects? “Stargirl” is a lot of fun. I get to play Hour Man in the Justice Society; a forerunner to the Justice League. He’s a great character. Guest House has college comedy humor, Dream Catcher; a thriller, 911 and Black Night Shade. – Charles Shaughnessy WSB- Tell us about your character, Professor Stuart Conrad. Charles Shaughnessy- I felt right at home playing Professor Conrad as I did a play on Tesla and knew most of his background and familiar with his work. I thought, this will be a fun film to do! Conrad is dedicated to his work on Tesla’s inventions for the good of mankind, but what he doesn’t know is that he’s inadvertently working for the bad guys who want to use Tesla’s lost projects for evil like the frequency generator. Tesla had actually conducted a successful experiment in Colorado creating a shift in the tectonic plates in the Earth causing a minor earthquake.

WWW.SMMIRROR.COM

but he felt it was far too dangerous. His frequency gun is based on sound waves. Since we’re all make up of atoms and molecules, Tesla’s device was to disrupt harmonic order through highpitched frequencies in the human body. Tesla had corresponded with Albert Einstein over several projects one being the unified field theory based on the physics of Faraday and Clerk Maxwell. Was this the basis of the Philadelphia Experiment? Who’s to say? Professor Richard Feynman told me that electrons can move forward, sideways and back in time. To this day, I still can’t figure out how an electron can go back in time. It’s almost supernatural. I read an article by Liaol Watson on supernatural phenomenon. If certain things can happen that can be explained by definition though supernatural in nature, they become just phenomenon. This theory can apply to science and logic as the basis of reality You worked with a very talented cast. It was an enjoyable experience. We all had this harmony together and harmony on the film is magic on screen. It was like working in a family atmosphere. Richard Burgi is terrific as the bad guy. I really liked working with him, Lou and Kirby. You have a great rapport with an actor when you can go through several lines of dialogue seeing what is the best way to highlight a performance or even feeling comfortable ad

libbing to make the scene the best one can. We all had a great chemistry together and a level of respect for one another. What were your influences growing up to become an actor in England? My father was an actor and my mother was an actress. When I was five, we had a school play on Peter Rabbit to try out for. I really wanted to play Peter Rabbit! I knew it was for me! But, I ended up getting the part of Blue Bird #3 on the left side of the stage. I was really upset about that, but that moment was the catalyst that drove me

to become an actor. My dad did small kids films that I got to act in as well. Other influences were Patrick Stewart, Derrick Jacobi, Alan Howard and Sir David Warner. I did a lot of stage plays and finally got a big break working on the BBC. What’s coming up for you? I was on stage for 42nd Street, played Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol”, Captain Hook in “Peter Pan” in Pittsburgh with the marvelous, talented actress Jen Colla as Pan, several Disney films, “Magicians”, “Modern Family” and of course, the “Nanny”.

BEHIND THE SCREEN By Kathryn Whitney Boole “Terminator: Dark Fate” has a history embedded in its cinematic DNA. It’s the fourth chapter in the franchise that began with “The Terminator” (1984) directed by James Cameron, who served as an advisor on this movie. The film’s director is Tim Miller, a celebrated visual effects artist who garnered rave reviews for the first feature he directed, 2016’s Deadpool, a hugely popular sarcastic take on the culture of comic book superheroes in film. Cameron gave Miller a list of scenes labeled “cool sh*#t Id’ like to see some day,” in the Terminator films.

The free event is open to the public and organized by morning, midday or afternoon sessions. According to a news release from the City of Santa Monica, the summit will build on the knowledge gained from the City’s Wellbeing Index, which launched in 2015. Programs in the lineup, which tackle a variety of issues from how to become a more active member in the community to understanding social anxiety in the classroom, include Preserving Our Diversity (POD): Learn about Santa Monica’s Cash Assistance Program for Seniors and DIY Human: A Connective Experience That Breaks Down Walls and Builds Empathy. Over 40 workshops will be available to attendees. “There are so many facets to civic and personal wellbeing and this summit provides an opportunity for Santa Monicans

to explore this concept in tangible and fun ways,” said Mayor Gleam Davis in a statement. “Come learn about building empathy and community organizing or apply for a Wellbeing Microgrant or register for the Preserving Our Diversity senior cash assistance program. There really is something for every interest.” According to a news release from the City of Santa Monica, the summit will build on the knowledge gained from the City’s Wellbeing Index, which launched in 2015.

STUDENTS, from page 1

rine conducted a large-scale waste audit of Samohi’s campus highlighting the percentage of waste that could be diverted from landfills, finding that 90 percent of their school’s waste could be composted or recycled. The following school year, the group used the data they collected to present to over 800 9th-graders at Samohi about the importance of sorting their waste properly, the environmental issue of plastic pollution and the larger issue of climate change, offering ways the students could decrease their own personal plastic consumption and carbon footprint. Further, Team Marine presented their audit to Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District Board (SMMUSD) and lobbied them to pass a sustainability plan that frames sustainability as a priority for the district. The plan was successfully passed in the spring of 2019, and ensures SMMUSD will make continuous and substantial progress in all areas of sustainability, including implementing environmental education into classrooms, educating the next generation of environmental stewards. “We just want people to know that the small changes in their daily lives make a world of difference in the big picture, Ansel Garcia-Langley, co-captain of Team Marine, said. As the culmination of their year-long endeavor, Team Marine engaged with their greater community in an installation of their Giant Plastic Bottle sculpture, an interactive 11-foot structure composed of over 600 plastic bottles on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica on June

16. Hundreds of people stopped by to discuss the issues behind single-use plastics and solutions individuals could take. At the event, the group gathered signatures for environmental legislation including AB #1080, SB #54 and SB #424, offered an opportunity for individuals to confess their “plastic sins,” a form of engagement modeled after the phrase “there is no recovery without confession” and pledge to be single-use plastic-free. To the team’s disappointment, the aforementioned bills have not been passed yet, but the team will continue to advocate for them. “Although we recognize the great progress Santa Monica and Los Angeles is making, there is always more to be done; we will continue pushing for more sweeping green legislation, educating the public, and bringing light to critical environmental issues,” Shakhidzhanova said. “We hope our work inspires other youth to take action whether that be within their own lives or in wider activism campaigns. We want everyone to know how big of a difference they can make, and to never underestimate their power and potential.” Team Marine plans to donate 14 percent of their prize to their non-profit partners including Algalita Marine Research and Education Foundation, Surfrider Foundation, Plastic Pollution Coalition, Heal the Bay, 5 Gyres, Climate Action Santa Monica and the Story of Stuff. In addition, they will use a portion of the funds to expand lobby and outreach efforts. “Team Marine would like to thank SMMUSD Sustainability Coordinator (Caroline Coster), Samohi principal (Dr. Antonio Shelton), the SMMUSD Board of Education, and mentor and Samohi science teacher Benjamin Kay,” Team Marine said in a press release.
