Zines to share

Transition mini-zines:
Pass them on!

​

These mini-pamphlets inform and inspire readers to change habits for the sake of our future.  Read them onscreen here— click on each cover to view it as a slide show.  With access to a printer, you can make copies of them yourself. 

Here's how:

​​

  1. Download a PDF of the zine you want to print. Each PDF includes multiple mini-pages laid out on a single sheet of paper.

    1. Habits of the Heart 

    2. Transition Towns

    3. Start with a Park
       

  2. For each one: Send it to print, pausing at the "Print" dialog box onscreen. Choose these options:  for orientation, choose "auto" or "landscape" (rather than "portrait"), and for page scaling, choose "none" or "100%" or "Actual Size."
    Habits of the Heart and Transition Towns should be printed double sided, "flip on long edge." Start with a Park prints on one side.

     

  3. Follow the fold-and-cut directions. Habits of the Heart and Transition Towns include instructions in the margin of the printed sheet. For Start with a Park, follow these instructions.
