Transition Palo Alto hosts activities and events to encourage environmentally sustainable lifestyles. Transition is unique in its focus on both inner and outer sustainability and resilience. A critical part of the change is to recognize that consuming less while strengthening local connections can mean a more meaningful and more satisfying existence.

Transition Palo Alto hosts twice monthly garden and skill shares where people bring garden produce and share ideas for growing, cooking, and preserving.  Bi-monthly Share Faires encourage people to share a wide variety of goods, from garden produce to books, clothing, kitchen supplies, craft supplies, and more. We encourage you to consider looking at the Transition sharing activities as a model for how you might do something similar on your block. All Transition Palo Alto sharing activities are ‘shares’ not ‘swaps’. There’s no quid pro quo. You can bring things, whether or not you’re also taking something, and can take goods, whether or not you’ve also brought something. This flexibility fosters a sense of community and true sharing.

LABT implements greening projects and tree planting -- planting trees and handling residential trees distributions events. Areas of responsibility includes part of Central LA and the East Valley.
