Neighbors addressing climate change

 
 
Transition Town — All St. Anthony Park

Smaller Footprint, Stronger Community

We’re neighbors linking up to live responsibly on the Earth.  Our ideas are as many as the challenges we all face. But they may not yet include yours. Come, think, work, and celebrate with us!  

Our purpose is to raise our neighborhood's understanding of climate change and the limits of fossil fuels, and to foster a positive, community-wide transition to more sustainable ways of life... ASAP.  ASAP reminds us that climate calls for our best efforts, right now. All Saint Anthony Park means South and North; renters and homeowners; newcomers and long-timers; businesses and nonprofits, youth, students, and seniors; faith groups, people of all ethnicities... all are needed. (See a map of our area of St. Paul, Minnesota.)

The 100 Trees Initiative is greening the streets of South St. Anthony Park. We're among the partners in this collaboration with the Creative Enterprise Zone.

Sign up for our newsletter and join the 400-plus neighbors who stay informed and join in when they can: email Communications@TransitionASAP.org. Got time to do more? Send us a note and we’ll connect.  Feel free to propose a project or event we can support: email Mike at mjblandford@yahoo.com.

During the pandemic, we reflected, grieved, and dreamed of a better world. We also learned new habits, some worth keeping! Keepers is a zine by neighbor and book artist Regula Russelle. Read it here, then print copies to share (instructions)

Smaller footprint,
stronger community.

Help raise local awareness of our climate emergency and the solutions at hand. Give to Transition Town - ASAP.

Great-Transition.jpeg

In The Great Transition, a near-future YA novel with a teen protagonist, the world has been transformed by climate change, but also by human ingenuity.  A movement called the Great Transition has begun to make the planet livable again, but people are still confronting the problems that led to the crisis. This is a story about families, the world we live in now, and the world we could live in.

Join the Changing Times Book Group to discuss it. It's available at libraries and stores (we recommend independents like Next Chapter).  Cosponsored by Transition Town and the St. Paul Public Library. Questions? Email Communications@TransitionASAP.org
