Environmental Action Committee

The temple bell stops.
But the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers.

You can help FUS live the UU Seventh Principle of Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.  We enthusiastically welcome new members. We are a Green Sanctuary with the UU Ministry for Earth.  We meet every first Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. September through May.


In 1994 the UUA passed a Resolution on Environmental Justice. UUA.org has a webcast of Van Jone's 2008 Ware Lecture in which he encouraged more development of green jobs. 

In 2006, the UUA passed a Statement of Conscience on Global Warming.  Join Rev. William Sinkford in a cyber march to stop global warming. Sign up at http://www.stopglobalwarming.org/sgw_marcher.asp?18763.
