“Then your light will break through like the dawn." Isaiah 58:8
The Shoshana S. Cardin School was one of the first stops on a month-long tour of The Jewish Climate Change Campaign, powered by Teva, Hazon, GoGreenInIsrael.org and veggie oil. Seven Jewish environmental educators are traveling cross country over the course of the month, stopping in 20 cities, to bring their innovative Jewish perspective on environmental climate change to schools, and teaching students how everyone can play a part. This campaign is a call to action, a call to demonstrate that the Jewish people can help light the way to more sustainable living.
Cardin’s 9th and 10th graders had the opportunity to get on board the climate change bus tour and roll towards a cleaner future. Students participated in a two-hour workshop which included:
• The Topsy Turvy Bus fueled by veggie oil
• Bus tour with explanation of the grease and composting systems
• Solar panels demonstration
• Human powered bicycle generator.
• Building their own solar oven
• Educational content on energy consumption, conservation, and climate change
• Resources on the Jewish Environmental movement
• Ways to get involved in The Jewish Climate Change Campaign
