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. See the "Activities" page for details.
