Green Sanctuary Committee
The current Green Sanctuary committee–informally known as the Green Team–kicked off operations on February 18, 2018. Since then, we have:
- Initiated and continued to refine a composting program at UUCC
- Given a Sunday service presenting crucial ideas on climate, pollution, and energy
- Mounted an “Ecological Services” display in the fellowship hall
- Sponsored an evening talk with guest Jane Hiller
- Sought to connect with others in the civic and denominational communities
- Contacted elected representatives to speak for environmental protection
We’ve always got more ideas in the works! Please feel free to join us at our regular meetings. (See church calendar)
