Santa Monica Green Wheel
I fully intended to write his particular blog a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea what happened other than I just spaced. These photos should make up for my lack of a brain. It's pretty cool! 
The new $1.5 million solar powered Ferris wheel that replaces the old Pacific Wheel, auctioned off on eBay for $132,400 in April, on its opening night at Pacific Park amusement park on the Santa Monica Pier. Like its predecessor, the world's first solar-powered, it will be powered by the sun but the new wheel, with its 160,000 lights, will be 75 percent more energy efficient.Photos By: Getty Images
About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
