Kol Shofar's Green Chavurah
is a dedicated and enthusiastic group of individuals, committed to
transforming the synagogue into a model of eco-sustainability.
We
believe that by seeing green principles demonstrated in every area of
synagogue life, congregants will be more likely to take these ideas and
practice them in their homes, schools, businesses and greater
communities.
Want to do your part to stop global warming? We
welcome congregants of all ages. Join others from Kol Shofar to take
action, educate others, and make changes in our community.
Currently
our main focus is on ensuring that our new building, which
breaks ground at the beginning of next year, be as green as possible.
We meet periodically (about once a month) to talk about our ideas for
greening the new building. We not only discuss our ideas for making Kol
Shofar a shining example of the best ideas of green construction, but
also how our congregation can become the leader in sustainable
congregations. If you have ideas for the new building, or if you have
ideas of how we can practically achieve our goals (by raising funds or
contacting suppliers) please join us.
Your help is needed now!
Getting
involved in this project is a way to impact Kol Shofar's eco-imprint
for years/decades to come, and also a great opportunity to practice
Tikkun Olam in our own backyard.
