NELA Transition [now Transition Pasadena] is thrilled to announce that the City of Pasadena recently awarded two of our sustainability projects with 2013 Green City Awards! The annual awards ceremony took place on April 20th as part of the Pasadena Earth & Arts Festival.

Repair Café Pasadena, a collaboration of NELA Transition and the Arroyo S.E.C.O. Network of Time Banks, received an award for Waste Reduction, “for advancing the transition from a consuming to a conserving society by hosting eight community events resulting in the repair of 240 items.” And Throop U.U. Church and NELA Transition received an award in the Urban Nature category, “for working collaboratively with the community to transform 8,000 square feet of water loving Bermuda grass into the Throop Learning Garden.”

We wish to thank everyone who has come out to participate in our events and projects, and also to everyone who has been working to make our community a more sustainable one!
