Ed Begley Jr. presents Second Baptist Church Pastor Wallace Shephard and Onja Brown-Lawson with the Green Energy Oscar
An educational initiative was launched for the members by Onja Brown-Lawson. The program included an
an Energy Day; distribution of compact fluorescent bulbs; support for ridesharing to church; and a series of classes focused on sustainability issues such as food, water and energy use.
Current and future members are encouraged to sign a pledge to undertake efficiency measures in their homes. Right now, Second Baptist is in the process of getting a permit to build a six-unit senior housing complex, which will employ solar energy.
