Is your synagogue having more success or more setback in pursuing sustainability? We can now see what success in synagogue sustainability looks like! We'll review responses from a recent survey of steps that twenty real synagogues are taking right now. Peer-to-peer discussion of obstacles and progress in implenting ECMs (energy conservation measures) such as insulation, lighting, HVAC, and the elusive deep-reduction heat pump. And the people it takes to make deep-carbon-reduction happen.

Panelists include:
Madeline Hirschland, Congregation Beth Shalom, Bloomington, IN
Eric Grunebaum, Congregation Eitz Chayim, Cambridge, MA
Yael Savage, Temple Emanuel Sinai, Worcester, MA
Robert Cooper, Temple Beth Elohim, Wellesley, MA
Rachel White, Byggmeister, Inc.
