Fellowship submits its first Green Sanctuary 2030 Action Report

The Unitarian Universalist Association’s Green Sanctuary 2030 program provides structure, leadership, and support for UU faith communities to engage in ambitious environmental and climate justice action. The program defines four essentials for climate action: Congregational Transformation, Mitigation, Justice, and Community Resilience. Congregations are encouraged to submit Action Reports on their progress in the four essentials throughout the year. Congregations that report progress in all four essentials within one year may request recognition. Click here for more information about Green Sanctuary 2030.

On February 11, David Horst submitted the Fellowship’s first Green Sanctuary 2030 Action Report. The report relates how our congregation resolved to take action against the climate crisis and then planned, raised money for, and oversaw the construction of a solar array on our building addition. This first Action Report cites progress for three of the Green Sanctuary 2030 essentials: congregational transformation (through passage of a resolution and fundraising), mitigation of climate change (by using solar energy rather than fossil fuel to supply electricity), and justice (through avoidance of harmful air pollution). 

Although the entire congregation was involved, the following individuals are recognized here.
