Please join us on Thursday, January 20, 2011 at 11:30 a.m. for the first Texas interfaith environmental conference call of 2011. On this first call of the year, we will recognize new things: a new year, a new legislative session, and – in honor of the Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shevat – the new year for trees. Also, we will talk about new opportunities to work together.
In this one-hour call, we will:
· Explore some themes of Tu B’Shevat—the holiday that some refer to as “the Jewish Earth Day.”
· Hear an update on the Sunset review process of TCEQ (the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality).
· Get a short briefing on what environmental legislation we might expect from this year’s legislative session.
· Learn about upcoming opportunities to engage our religious communities in caring for creation, including the Valentine’s weekend National Preach-In for Earth Care.
· Open the call to hear from you! We will make time to share ideas, hopes and enthusiasms as we begin a new year of work together.
