PLENARY Long Beach’s Solarflora Q G.I. Joe Collectors Q Unconventional: Green Placemaking


 GROUP SHOT


Tree of


Light


LET THE SUNSHINE IN: This spring, the Long Beach Convention &


Entertainment Center planted a unique


and beautiful lighted “tree” — Solarflora, a solar-panel sculpture of sorts created by local firm Nectar


Design. This “power plant” can produce


1.2 kilowatt hours of energy daily, while


providing gentle night- time illumination.


THERE’S A MEETING FOR THAT?


Trading Is Half the Battle
