Green Sanctuary Certification

In Fall 2011, we succeeded in earning our Green Sanctuary certification from the Unitarian Universalist Association. This means we have taken steps and committed ourselves:

  1. To build awareness of societal environmental issues among UU’s.
  2. To generate commitment for personal faithbased lifestyle changes.
  3. To motivate UU’s to community action on environmental issues.
  4. To build a connection between spiritual and environmental consciousness.
  5. To build awareness of and rectify environmental injustices.
  6. To implement environmentally friendly actions and policies within the church facility
