Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) projects manage stormwater runoff by encouraging natural absorption of rainwater. Examples of GSI project include green roofs, permeable pavement, and rain gardens!
Faith institutions are especially well-positioned for Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) projects because of their long-term commitment to caring for both people and place.
PA IPL is hosting a webinar in partnership with the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia, The ROZ Group, and Partners for Sacred Places to highlight the experience of Congregation Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia!
Join us on zoom to hear from Congregation Rodeph Shalom about why they choose watershed stewardship with GSI, their experiences, and then learn about GSI from technical experts at the Pennsylvania Environmental Council!
