Inspiring our Families & Faith Communities to take Action, with Judith Holt
How often have you asked: What can one household or one congregation do—right now to address urgent issues of our time?
A lot. Burning fossil fuels is the core driver of climate change; the CO₂ we emit forms a blanket that traps heat. The average home releases around 35,000 pounds annually. We can change that.
- At this meeting, you can invite others from your Faith Community to join climate expert Judith Holt for a 40-minute talk on over 300 projects she has assessed that led to slashing carbon dioxide emissions. Sixteen local Houses of Worship have benefited and we want ALL our Representatives to gain from her pro bono expertise. We will learn about a 2-hour in-depth training program available to your congregation at no cost to map your building, find energy waste, and start cutting carbon—immediately.
- From the training, you will learn how to :
- · Spot no-cost/low-cost fixes on your building
- · Calculate your carbon footprint—and track reductions
- · Build an equipment and building profile
- · Sequence actions for smart, long-term capital planning
- · Get inspired to bring the right folks from your House of Worship to the 2hr training (like members of the Building & Operations Committees)- whoever are the best people to work on assessing and strategizing your path forward.
