UUSO Green Sanctuary Program
With a spiritually grounded active faith, in alliance and collaboration with other organizations and systemically oppressed communities, UUSO will achieve the UUA’s Green Sanctuary accreditation and then continue this work into the future, building a reciprocal and regenerative relationship with the earth.  

In order to become accredited as a Green Sanctuary under the UUA guidelines, the UUSO will need to participate in activities in the following areas.  We would like to engage the whole congregation in both developing our projects as well as implementing them.  Please share your ideas, thoughts, concerns and excitement as you join us in building a better relationship with the earth.

Climate Mitigation and Action refers to projects to reduce the cause of global warming.  Mitigation is essential for climate justice and a livable future with fewer disastrous climate impacts. Mitigation to accomplish a livable and just world needs to reduce global net carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 and to near zero by mid-century, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Robust mitigation will reduce the risks of severe climate impacts and make possible a transition to a sustainable future for all.   Please check all that you're interested in below.   Go to https://www.uua.org/environment/green-sanctuary/2030-mobilizing-for-climate-justice/overview  to see other examples of mitigation activities.
What do you feel would be the most important focus of climate mitigation and action for the congregation ?
ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCE - Adaptation is the process of (a) reducing vulnerabilities to the harmful effects of climate change (b) making the most of potentially beneficial opportunities associated with positive responses to the crisis. Resilience is the capacity to maintain function in the face of external stresses created by the climate-change crisis. Please check all that you're interested in below.  
What do you feel would be the most important focus of adaptation and resilience for the congregation ?
JUSTICE:  Working in partnership with communities who experience and confront the reality that the greatest impacts of the climate crisis are disproportionately imposed on those (a) historically oppressed and least responsible for the crisis (b) with the fewest resources with which to face the crisis while already under environmental stresses, and (c) future generations. These communities are sometimes referred to as front-line, vulnerable or marginalized. Please check all that you're interested in below.
