Opening with a welcome from Rev. Rev Nathan Dannison on how FSC is aligned with protecting our environment, we will hear from our four working groups on the actions and progress being made.
Fountain Street has a dedicated coalition of members and volunteers who serve as the congregation's Green Team, constantly examining novel ways to reduce our footprint and sustain our momentum.
[Please note: this will be a hybrid in-person/virtual event. Details for a Zoom invitation will be posted.]
Working groups:
Energy Systems
- Increase high impact projects in the community
- Promote programs that make renewable energy and energy efficiency financially viable
Waste Reduction
- To reduce organic waste from entering area landfills and the incinerator
- Reduce the prevalence of non-recyclable, single use materials in our waste stream
Environmental Conservation
- Improve community planning and development practices to protect natural areas and water
- Support environmental education programs
Organizational Operations
- To build a strong caucus that engages residents, government, and organizations to make a positive impact on local environmental policy
- Create a strong identity where members know what’s going on and how they can participate
