The Temple Community Collaborative (TCC),
a subcommittee of the Energy Committee, is taking steps to help rebuild our local economy and help our town transition to a thriving, sustainable community as we confront the challenges of climate change and economic stressors. 
 
On Saturday, May 25 from 2 - 4 PM, TCC is sponsoring a
Workshop on Building Raised GARDENS 
 
Details on the "Activities" page, along with other TCC projects and programs.

The Energy Committee has created a Climate, Energy and Sustainability Discussion Group.  We are using articles from some of the Northwest Earth Institute's manuals as a basis for exploring our individual responses to climate crises and the need to create more sustainable lifestyles.

3) To help our community become more conscious of the impact of human activity on the environment within our homes and our community;  
 
4) To encourage use of public transportation and healthy choices such as bicycling and walking;
 
5) To increase awareness of the benefits to our community of re-use and recycling;
