Sustain Dane staff Spencer and Maggie and board member Jim were honored to join Holy Wisdom Monastery for their Spring Solar Tilt. At our February Sustainable Breakfast Series, speakers from the Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin–Madison identified community-based action as a way to heal climate anxiety. The monastery staff who joined us for this event said it helped inspire their Spring Solar Tilt! As the sun moves north, each of their 30 solar panels must be manually hand-cranked by a team of 3 people (like us!) into its flat spring/summer orientation. Holy Wisdom Monastery is on track to become fully net-zero carbon by the end of 2024.
