The movie Grease has probably the most well-know scene filmed in the river basin. Everyone knows the unforgettable drag race between Danny and Leo that took place between the 1st and 7th street bridges. But the river has it’s downside too. For years, the Los Angeles River was a drainage ditch along most of its 51 mile length, and large parts have been covered in concrete. The Los Angeles River became heavily polluted from agricultural and urban runoff over the last century, negatively impacting both residents' health and the environment. People living in the the area were overly exposed to pollutants and didn't have much access to green space. In this video, we'll show you how Los Angeles residents have been transforming the LA River by using natural-based solutions to restore the watershed, improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people by increasing biodiversity and improving water security. #greencity #megacity #walkablecity 📺 Watch the entire video for more information! _________________________________________________________________ About Circle of the Earth 🎥 Videos about desertification, reforestation and sustainability projects 🎨 Written, voiced and produced by Circle of the Earth 🔔 Subscribe now for more desertification, reforestation and sustainability videos Watch More from Circle of the Earth 🟢 Greening Projects:    • Greening projects   🟠 Reforestation Projects:    • Reforestation   🔴 Desertification Projects:    • Desertification   _____________________________________________________ 💼 Business Inquiries and Contact • For business inquiries, copyright matters or other inquiries please contact us at: [email protected] ❓ Copyright Questions • If you have any copyright questions or issues you can contact us at [email protected] ⚠️ Copyright Disclaimers • We use images and content in accordance with the YouTube Fair Use copyright guidelines • Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act states: “Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.” • This video could contain certain copyrighted video clips, pictures, or photographs that were not specifically authorized to be used by the copyright holder(s), but which we believe in good faith are protected by federal law and the fair use doctrine for one or more of the reasons noted above.
