Environmental Sustainability
Bethesda Friends Meeting's Environmental Sustainability Group (ESG) was formed in 2015 under the auspices of the Peace & Social Justice Committee. ESG seeks to educate ourselves and others via study, discussion, and public presentations about the earth's environmental threats, pursuing a path toward a stable climate for God's creation. All are welcome to participate.
