Climate Action -
​Preserving Our Environment


Temple member Jackie Royce is our very own life-long climate activist. Her program on Climate Action in our Picking From Our Garden series gave us insight into what started her passion for preserving our environment and what still motivates her to call us all to action now more than ever. 
Links to organizations and initiatives are listed below. Find out what you can do to become a climate activist. It's up to all of us and time is running out.

​Need help figuring out how to designate how "green" your energy is that you use in your home or business? Send and email to Jackie at climateaction@centralreformtemple.org​ to make an appointment to discuss how you can make simple changes that puts Climate Action at the top of your priorities.

Water Goat Project

Life History of Rabbi Arthur Waskow

In 2019-2020, with the help of a state earmark, the Muddy Water Initiative researched, designed, and permitted a device called the WATERGOAT, a stormwater trash and debris boom that was deployed across the Muddy River at Ipswich Street in Boston on August 5, 2020

For decades, a 24-acre forest, known locally as Crane Ledge Woods and designated as an urban wild, has been inaccessible and mostly unknown to the surrounding neighborhoods of southwest Boston - Hyde Park, Roslindale and Mattapan. Now a multinational property company intends to construct 10 buildings containing 270 rental units, 415 parking spaces and several roads on this land. From a beautiful green space of crucial wildlife habitats - shady forest, flower-filled meadows, rocky alcoves and vernal pools - the proposed project would turn Crane Ledge Woods into an immense urban heat island of impervious asphalt and concrete.
