"Transition To Green" Community Clubs (TToG) - Helping to make the transition to green living in Los Angeles
Oct 28, 2009
"Transition To Green" Community Clubs (TToG)

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?

What is Positive News?

Positive News is a quarterly international newspaper, founded in 1993 by Shauna Crockett Burrows. The publication focuses on issues rarely covered by the mainstream media and promotes the many individuals and enterprises that are working to create a more healthy, humane and environmentally sustainable world.

Positive News also tries to give a voice to all those small, determined fishes swimming against the tides of big corporate seas and award them for their efforts through honest, impartial media publicity. A place where young and old feel safe to tell their stories without fear of indifference or misrepresentation.

Positive News (PN) is a free, not for profit newspaper published four times a year.  We report news from around the world in the areas of sustainability, social equality, education and happiness with a clear message that "another world is possible."  

Ilonka and her best friend John discovered the publication in Ireland. In addition to the original UK publication, there are now editions in Hong Kong, Spain, Argentina and Germany.  With a lot of excitement, we have undertaken a US edition, beginning in upstate NY.  Response has been enormous, we have more than doubled our printing within a year. Currently, we are distributing the paper in cafes,  stores, schools and places of business around the northeast.  Positive News reaches people in other parts of the US thanks to subscriptions, sponsor a bundle program and a growing number of distribution volunteers.

We at the Positive News US are dedicated to spreading world happiness for all.  We believe wholeheartedly that this is possible and we would love for you to help spread the word and try to make it happen!

Turn on the television for the evening news and the message is the same: stories that sadden and scare but fail to directly inspire us. At some point we must ask ourselves, "Isn't there something a bit more positive happening out there?" In fact there is. Throughout the world, a number of individuals have poised themselves to create a new message for everyone to hear: another world is possible, and it's in fact happening right now!
