Rev. William Weisenbach of First Presbyterian Church of Katonah initiated this religious leaders’ effort on behalf of Bedford 2020.

“If we all get involved and get a little bit from everyone, we can make this community vision a reality,” said Weisenbach.The First Presbyterian Church Manse recently had a Comprehensive Home Energy Assessment and followed up with much-needed air sealing and insulation work. Weisenbach said his church has reduced its energy costs by 30 percent. These reductions were spurred on by Energize Bedford, a local effort sponsored by Bedford 2020 and the Town of Bedford to help residents save money, reduce energy waste, and make their homes more comfortable.

Rev. Weisenbach will hosted a workshop at First Presbyterian to educate parishioners about Energize Bedford and how they can get started with their own Comprehensive Home Energy Assessment.

Rabbi Jason Nevarez distributed flyers at Temple Shaaray Tefila’s Yom Kippur services. “The Jewish New Year is a perfect time for people to start looking with fresh eyes at these issues and connecting how our day-to-day actions can impact the planet,” Nevarez said. “As we say in our flyer, ‘God’s call to care for the earth starts at home.’”

“Stewardship is a shared responsibility of all Christians,” said Fr. Edmund Connors, Pastor of St. Mary of the Assumption. “This community-supported effort is an easy way for everyone to get involved.” Check out the Bedford Patch article.
