About "Transition To Green" Community Clubs



Diana is the founder of "Transition To Green" Community Clubs. She had the desire to create this organization when she discovered there weren't other community green clubs offering the opportunity to learn how one can make a transition to green living in a fun, interactive, open forum.

The club meetings are run like parties (no sales) and members don't have to believe in global warming to join. If you care about our impact on the environment, and wish to learn more about the green products and services that are available to you now, then "Transition To Green" Community Clubs are right for you.

TToG Community holds club meetings every other month usually on the third or fourth Saturday or Sunday. Meetings are a place where Merchants, Teachers, Specialized Experts, City Directors, Community Activists, Politicians will offer their time to discuss what going green means in relation to their specific field, where that field is in the process and where it sees itself in 5 years.

How can an individual make a difference? First, by joining as a member or by volunteering in your local area. If the TToG club locations aren't convenient, then learn how you can become a Chapter Coordinator. The first TToG meeting is free! Members are asked to donate $2.50 in meeting dues (6 annual meetings =$12.50). Children (ages 8 & up) are free accompanied by a parent. For those who volunteer their time, an end of the 6 months party is held for all the officers. Volunteering is an opportunity for people not only to do something great for their local community, but also gain leadership skills.

TToG has held booths at major Green Fair events as well as attending them, it's involved with the City, State and National Park Clean-Ups. TToG's discussion topics have covered Natural & Native Gardening, Eco-Friendly Bed & Bath Linens, New Green Technologies, Natural vs. Organic Skin Care, Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products and Services etc.

Each TToG Chapter is customized to the needs and desires of its members, so there are other activities and excursions that take place outside of the set TToG community meetings. You can learn how to make your own soy candles, recycled stationary paper, composts, and also take excursions to Nature Reserves, Zoos, Green Fair events, Clean-Ups, Films etc. There are weekly hikes and other fun activities, so what are you waiting for?
