Email or mail a letter to Gehry Partners, LLP to ask that the renovation of the LA River include a plan to sequester carbon.  Sample letter can be found here.   I personally think that anyone getting a real live letter might actually read it, rather than just toss it unread into the trashcan.  You yourselves know that emails from organizations or people you don’t know immediately get tossed in the electronic trash can–so give writing a real letter a try!
