Education

As well as attending a climate march, going to a conference or lecture or reading an article in the newspaper about the environment it is key to make sure members of your community knows about their own impact on the environment and what we can all do to lower our own emissions. You can start by telling people about this website and get them to sign up or make a Green Promise. Here are a few other ideas:

- Participate in or organise environmental study events lectures on Global Warming & other Environmental issues.

- Encourage Synagogue leaders to speak on the issues of greening from the pulpit and incorporate them into their Synagogue messages. You can find information here to incorporate into sermons or see the Green and Jewish section of this website.

- Include environmental issues in the syllabus of your Cheder. You will find lesson ideas on the resources section of this website. If you would like to see some resources for cheder teachers click here.
