For decades, PYM has set benchmarks to guide our shared witness on critical issues. With the Creating a Playbook for Climate Action, this tool provides meetings with practical resources and ideas for planning, taking action, and staying accountable in areas like activism, education, and reducing carbon footprints.
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, PYM has set benchmarks:
- Measure the carbon footprint of Yearly Meeting operations, gatherings, and facilities.
- Identify how the Yearly Meeting could be carbon net zero by 2030
- Invite monthly meetings to strive to reach 50% carbon reduction for members and meetings by 2030.
To coordinate these goals, we’re seeking a Net Zero Consultant to lead this work and support our community in taking meaningful steps. Learn more here: Zero Carbon Job Description.
This project will include:
- Assessing carbon contributors (e.g., transportation, energy, food, materials).
- Measuring emissions from PYM activities, events, and buildings.
- Delivering a clear, data-driven plan to reduce our carbon impact—considering both modern sustainability standards and our historic spaces.
