Community Solar Power team

We're organizing for community cooperative solar! This is a great opportunity to lower your utility bill while helping the environment. There are many ways to get involved:

  • Transfer your energy source from fossil fuel to solar through a community solar cooperative (ask us how!)
  • Organize with us to build solar on the schools! In partnership with MN350, the St. Paul Federation of Educators, and other community partners, we are hoping to build new community cooperative solar that West Siders can benefit from.
  • Affordable housing goes solar: do you live in, or manage, an affordable housing unit? Connect with us to learn more about incentives for adding solar to your building!

Adopt a West Side garden

Get your hands in the dirt and show some love for our neighborhood! Sign up to help tend to the Garden of Good Hearts. A volunteer will greet you and support with garden caretaking, which can include weeding, watering, and other fun hands on work.

 

marigolds

The Marigold Project

Many families on the West Side celebrate Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Marigolds, also known as cempasúchil, are used to honor the dead and help lead them to ofrendas or altars. Join us to grow marigolds for the West side! We provide the pot, soil, and seeds. You provide the care. Grow them for your own celebration, or for a West Side Día de Los Muertos event in November 2021. Many thanks to the West Side Seed Library for their partnership on this project.
