UUCB Green Action

Here are some ideas for UUCB action on the environment.

Offer at least two services per year on environmental themes
Continue and expand offerings in the adult enrichment program
Encourage/facilitate development by UUA of children's RE curriculum on environmental themes; include environmental themes in "For All Ages"
Include "Seventh Principle" language in UUCB ceremonies, such as welcoming new members and honoring elders
Create a "Green Corner" for information sharing and awareness raising (physical, newsletter and web)
Begin a program to make the UUCB facilities as environmentally responsible as possible, starting with an energy audit, a waste audit, a toxics audit (including testing the well), and a landscaping evaluation; to be followed by proposals for UUCB policies on energy use, product procurement, toxics use, and native species use and habitat management on church grounds.
Do field trips to our local landfill, water or wastewater plant, water supply, recycling center and an environmental justice neighborhood
Facilitate church car pools & other alternative transportation
Develop a relationship with an environmental justice group
