BJC CLIMATE ACTION HUB
The Beth Jacob Climate Change Initiative’s goal is to help the Beth Jacob community reduce our individual and collective contributions to climate change. Learn more at the Climate Action Hub.
You are invited to “opt in” to the Climate Change Initiative email list to receive periodic updates and special news from us, along with occasional alerts to take advocacy actions requested by trusted organizations on behalf of climate change mitigation work. We promise to not bombard you with notes, and you can always “unsubscribe” whenever you want. Just send an email to Climate@beth-jacob.org (please include your full name) and we’ll sign you up!
We are proceeding with this work in four dimensions: awareness, communal space, individual households and advocacy. Follow the links below to learn more about current efforts. Questions? Want to join in our efforts? Please email Susan Moses-Zirkes: smzirk@gmail.com.
