This May, I was honored to represent COEJL at the National Adaptation Forum, in a session with the National Wildlife Federation about their "Sacred Grounds" program (re-wilding congregational lawns both for community-building and climate-resilience). While there, I was interviewed by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communications - and now, the 90-second spot is out there: Maryland rabbi calls on people to be good ancestors to future generations » Yale Climate Connections Of course, the short quotes there hardly scratch the surface of Jewish wisdom about caring for Creation; of current multi-faith efforts to be good stewards, side-by-side; even of my own work in this field. They did mention Interfaith Power and Light and Adat Shalom, two of my proudest affiliations -- but not COEJL itself, nor the National Religious Partnership for the Environment (through which COEJL works closely alongside other faith groups on a range of environmental justice concerns and initiatives).
Still, it's a short and sweet spot, from a venerable group. Do consult the clear data and helpful tips amassed by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication - Home.
