Green Sanctuary

UUSL is a Green Sanctuary Congregation

UUSL has earned Green Sanctuary Certification from the national Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). We share ideas and information for environmental and social justice advocacy, as well as worship, education and sustainable living via our group on the UUSL Facebook page. An Email to Roger and Inez can be sent to request information on our Green Sanctuary program.


Our Vision: A world that we help make more sustainable, safe, healthy and just, through our 

UUSL Green Sanctuary Actions, for all humanity, including present and future generations, 

and the whole of the interconnected web of life.


Our Mission: In collaboration with other organizations and communities, to achieve Our Vision, by accomplishing activities to address Climate Change, Water Quality, and other Critical Environmental and Social Justice issues.

    Background

    About the UUA Green Sanctuary Certification Program and the UUSL Action Plan

    The UUA Green Sanctuary Certification Program provides requirements and a path for congregations to address climate change and environmental justice. Congregations that complete the program are accredited in recognition of their service and dedication to the earth and future generations.


    As prescribed by the UUA Green Sanctuary Guidelines, our UUSL Green Sanctuary Certification Action Plan included an in-depth environmental evaluation of our sanctuary and organization as well as activities related to four specific areas;

    • Environmental Justice:  Activities in solidarity with Front Line (Vulnerable) Communities, which may be most affected by Climate Change
    • Worship and Celebration:  Activities enabling us to stay connected to each other and to celebrate work accomplished
    • Religious Education:  Activities to inform, while inspiring us to keep working toward our goal of just and sustainable practices
    • Sustainable Living:  Activities to treat the world more gently by using fewer resources and being mindful of the choices we make
