Free! Santa Monica Airport Artwalk

I'm a week early on this one, it gives you ample time to schedule it in though. Music, culture and food for free, more information here and here.

Free! Art Night

On Art Night, the city of Pasadena opens the doors of many of its cultural institutions, for free. Even better, there are free shuttles running from each place. It is a great way to sample what this community has to offer. Art Night is part of Pasadena Art Weekend.

Free! Audiobooks

Podiobooks.

You can register for free and then go through the archive and see if there is anything that interests you. Wasn't anything from my too read list, so I couldn't bring myself past that registration barrier.

Free! Films [from books]

Watch the books that were made into films on a big screen for free at the Pasadena Library, Wednesday's from 1pm to 3pm. I know, the timing is poor, I'll work on finding a better free film event.

Free! Google.Books

Google.Books

I forget how I stumbled upon this exactly, all I know now is that I did. It's not a hundred percent free, because allegedly some pages are left out. Also, not every book is scanned in with a preview. I can say that it has benefited me so far, as I needed to read a book for class, that the school library didn't have, and no local bookstore's had in stock. So, in the mean time, I'm reading In The Bubble online, first 3 chapters check out fine.

Free! Trees

From Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Take a little online workshop here, it will explain everything you need to know. And you're pretty much good to go.

Trees for a Green LA.

Free! Mulch

In the interest of being green and being efficient. I'm going to try and add a weekly update to this site where I find free stuff that is green.

The first free item I've found is Mulch, provided by Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation. Specific Information in this PDF.  Just drive up to one of six locations, scoop up some compost, go home and use as potting soil or ground cover. Take as little or as much as you want.
