THE GREEN SANCTUARY PROGRAM AT U.U.F.C.


In response to the UUA Seventh Principle Project, UUFC initiated action to form a Green Sanctuary committee during October 2004. Since then the committee has formulated a Charter and an Action Plan and has begun an Environmental Audit of UUFC. The Charter and Action Plan have been completed and can be viewed by clicking on their respective links shown above. The Environmental Audit is not yet complete, but the items being investigated and the individuals responsible for each of the items can be viewed by clicking on the Environmental Audit link shown above. Information concerning the UUA Ministry for Earth (formerly the UUA Seventh Principle Project) can also be found by clicking on the first of these links. 

UUFC has received Green Sanctuary Accreditation from the Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth!
