TI Tackles Global Warming.........posted Oct 30, 2006
More than 100 attendees turned out for the showing of "An Inconvenient Truth" on Oct. 24, sponsored by the Tikvat Israel Environmental Task Force.
The documentary film, produced and hosted by Al Gore Jr., described the scientific evidence of global warming and its effects on the earth's climate today and in the near future. The film also described how each of us can make a difference in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, both as a community and as individuals.
The Environmental Task Force will continue to work towards this goal by having an energy audit of the synagogue to reduce its energy costs; by improving the recycling of trash; and by having a compact fluorescent bulb fund-raising event.
The task force's next meeting at TI will be Sunday, Dec. 3 at 10:15 a.m.
