HOST AN EARTH DAY PARTY

Hey everyone,



I noticed at least one posting for a party. Now you have the opportunity to host one in your neighborhood. 350.org is sponsoring Earth Day meetups in neighborhoods to talk and perhaps plan actions to deal with the excess C02 in our atmosphere. I looked on their web site and so far there are no parties in Alaska. So don't wait. Sign up and download all the free materials at

If this isn't… Continue

Who We Are...

WE'RE MOVING...BY AUG. 20, 2010
This growing network of Alaskan Transitioneers is moving to the Transition US Social Network site. That will allow us to continue connecting across the state without paying Ning's new $200/year fee. The process is quite simple. Go to http://transitionus.ning.com and SIGN IN. You don't have to fill in the SIGN UP form if you are already a Ning customer. Then go to http://transitionus.ning.com/group/linktransitionAlaskausa to join others from Alaska. See you there!!


TRANSITION ALASKA is a networking site where all those interested in building resilient and sustainable communities in Alaska can connect, find fellowship, share information, create partnerships, and celebrate steps forward.

This site, like similar sites across the US, is being developed through grassroots participation, and is continually evolving. It is inspired by, but not limited to The Transition Movement, which seeks to empower communities to squarely face the issues surrounding climate change, peak oil (increasing oil scarcity and rising costs), and global economic uncertainty and to unleash the collective genius of citizens to find innovative local solutions to these momentous challenges. For all those aspects of life that a community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, the Transition Movement invites us to ask ourselves, how are we going to:

  • drastically reduce carbon emissions (in response to climate change);
  • significantly rebuild resilience (in response to peak oil);
  • and greatly strengthen and diversity our local economies (in response to economic instability)?

Transition Initiatives make no claim to have all the answers, but by building on the wisdom of the past and accessing the pool of ingenuity, skills and determination in our communities, the solutions can readily emerge. Now is the time for us to take stock and start re-creating our future in ways that are not based on cheap, plentiful oil but on localized food, sustainable energy sources, resilient local economies and an enlivened sense of community well-being.
