What is an Action Team? Action Teams are dynamic work groups; composed of dedicated folks who roll up their sleeves to get things done in between our monthly general meetings. Planet Southie Action Teams are forming on topics including alternative transportation, asthma and energy efficiency. If you are interested in one of these, or in another environmental focus, please let us know. The quantity, scope and impact of Action Teams are limited only by our community's passion, time, energy and creativity.
Who are you people? Planet Southie is a group of South Boston residents who care about our community. Many of us are South Boston natives and families.
Who funds Planet Southie? We intentionally do not accept any funding or donations. This is a strategic decision. We are led entirely by volunteers. When people kindly offer to make donations, we re-direct them to neighborhood associations and other groups that help green South Boston. The minimal costs that we incur (like the domain name) are covered by members. However, members are never asked to make donations and there is no membership fee.
