Green Sanctuary Committee: Committed to integrating earth-friendly practices into our church’s spiritual and physical realms, the Green Sanctuary Committee works on support for recycling, cleaning the solar panels, and conducting a building energy efficiency audit. A Green Sanctuary is a congregation that lives out its commitment to the Earth by creating a sustainable life style for its members as individuals and as a faith community. “Sustainable living is not about our material comfort (though these choices are an important part of the overall life style); it is about choosing to live in a way that nurtures life, builds relationships, and rejects material consumption as the sole determinant of happiness.” – from the Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth website
