Every Saturday morning at Camp Miriam, counsellors have an opportunity to bring chuggim, or special interest topics, to campers. We are committing to running at least one chug related to the environment each week this summer. This is a chance for campers to learn about a variety of environmental issues and perspectives, think critically about their own choices and communities, and learn how they can take action. Planned topics are: 1. Jewish perspectives on the environment 2. Food and climate change 3. The intersections between LGTBQ+ discrimination and climate change 4. Energy democracy and Indigenous environmental initiatives 5. Eco-feminism 6. Climate grief and processing emotions related to the environment

Our Green Team continues to educate our congregation on sustainability topics by writing articles for it's online and printed newsletters on a variety of topics. Past topics have included recycling know-how, single use plastic water bottle elimination, and HHW resources. CBAHM has also made space on their website for the Green Team to archive articles and give updates. In addition, CBAHM has established a Tribute Fund specifically for the Green Team.
