Unitarian Universalist Society seeks Green Sanctuary certification

The congregation of the Universalist Unitarian Society of Laconia (UUSL) on Pleasant Street in Laconia, has initiated an effort to earn certification as a Green Sanctuary. The UUSL Green Sanctuary vision is to work for a world that is environmentally sustainable, and just for humanity and for the whole of interconnected life, including present and future generations. The certification requirements include an environmental evaluation of the sanctuary and organization, and activities in four areas:

1. Environmental Justice. Activities in solidarity with Front Line (Vulnerable) Communities, which may be most affected by Climate Change
2. Worship and Celebration. Activities enabling us to stay connected to each other and other government and non-government organizations working for environmental sustainability and justice
3. Religious Education. Activities to inform and educate, while inspiring us to keep working toward our goal of just and sustainable practices
4. Sustainable Living. Activities to treat the world more gently by using fewer resources, and being mindful of the choices we make, and those that are made by our community and government leaders.

The Unitarian Universalist Association Green Sanctuary certification provides a path for congregations to address climate change and environmental justice. Congregations that complete the program are accredited as Green Sanctuaries in recognition of their service and dedication to the earth and future generations.
