The Green Sanctuary committee at University Unitarian Church is working to engage our entire church community in practices that embody our UU seventh principle: Respect and care for the interdependent web of life of which we are a part.
We are working to fully, creatively integrate the seventh principle in our worship and religious education for all age levels. We organize a wide variety of projects and activities on topics such as transportation, alternative energy, pesticide awareness, sustainable food, and environmental legislative advocacy. We are also making our church practices more sustainable – more "green." And you can help! Explore these pages to learn more, and fill out our interest form.
"Greening" our church practices: We are encouraging recycling, composting, and environmentally friendly products, and working to reduce waste, toxics, and energy consumption. To get involved with waste reduction efforts, contact Deejah Sherman-Peterson at 206-363-4604. To help with native, sustainable landscaping at UUC, contact Nancy Bowen-Pope.
