The Seal of Sustainability is now launched! Nearly two dozen Jewish organizations around the country are assembling Green Teams, taking a food, facilities, or healthy ecosystem audit, and launching new sustainability projects at their organizations. At synagogues, community centers, social service organizations, and summer camps, people are working hard to make their organizations uphold their values of sustainability. We’re excited about the two chicken coops that will provide humane eggs at Bonai Shalom and Colorado State University Hillel; a new community composting initiative at B’nai Jeshurun; expanded recycling programs as Jewish Family Services of San Diego and Hannah Senesh Day School; sourcing toxin-free art supplies at the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale; an ethical food purchasing policy at the Pearlstone Center; and much more. Check back on hazon.org/seal for updates on organizations and projects, new resources, and stories about successes and challenges. Want to post a sustainability success story?
