Abstract:
Chapel Hill resident Sadie Rapp decided to “go green” for her recent bat mitzvah. Making decorations, Rapp and her family repurposed garbage and recycled materials and encouraged guests to walk or carpool to the event. Rapp also decided to donate a portion of her gifts to charity and her blog on the experience has gained national attention from rabbis. Rapp said it is up to those who have completed their bat mitzvah to be responsible and take care of the world.

Muhsinah Ali, Nazeeh Abdul-Hakeem, Sandra Harhash, and Hatim Mukhtar all contribute to the story.
