Take Action

Check out the menu on the left, and pick an area of interest.

Some action resources in this section were developed by UU Ministry for Earth and some are available from other organizations. These resources provide all liberal religious communities, especially those enrolled in the Green Sanctuary program of the UUA, with suggestions for taking action.

Ideas from recent Green Sanctuary program applications

For some ideas to help you get started, here is a spreadsheet of environmental justice projects from recent Green Sanctuary program applications. You may search/sort this data base by the following key words: Community Outreach, Energy Conservation, Environmental Advocacy, Ethical Eating, Habitat Restoration, Micro-financing, Mountain Top Removal, and Water Rights. It also includes links to congregational websites where you can find more information on the projects. The list was compiled by Emily Kao, winter 2010 Environmental Intern in the Advocacy & Witness Washington office, based on information provided by Robin Nelson, UUA Green Sanctuary program manager in the office of Congregational Stewardship Services.

Earth Day 2010 - Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice

Resources, and the activities and events reported by congregations, will continue to be useful. This is especially true for congregations participating in actvities associated with the Ethical Eating Statement of Conscience. Here is a list of events (updated on May 9, 2010) -- 153 congregations in thirty-eight states, plus four in Canada and one in Cuba, registered their events on the UUMFE website.
