Fair Trade Coffee and Tea are available each Sunday.
We Need Everyone on the Green Team!
Lately there has been a big increase in articles about the climate crisis, almost all of them dark enough to depress even the cheeriest spirit. Some say it’s too late for us to stop our downward spiral while others hold out hope. We have 3 choices:
(a) Give up and decide the situation is hopeless
(b) Stick our heads in the sand and pretend this will all go away
(c) Make some lifestyle changes that will have a positive impact
If you chose option C, we need you on the UUVC Green Team!
The Green Team is not just another committee. It’s a way to live our 7th principle:
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
The UUVC Green Team has 3 goals:
Encourage environmentally sustainable practices in our congregational life
Empower each of us to embrace effective stewardship of the Earth in our daily lives
Address climate injustice through activism
The Green Team provides information on actions we can take through a weekly ‘Village Green” eblast and the Green Team Facebook page. Our purpose is to encourage everyone in our congregation, members, and friends, to get involved. There are many ways to participate. Stop by our table on Sunday to learn more and find an activity that fits you. We need you. Earth needs you!
UUVC supports Fair Trade by offering Equal Exchange products for sale, such as coffee, chocolate, olive oil, and by using their products in our kitchen. Fair Trade is a partnership that contributes to sustainable development by marginalized producers and workers. Other items which support sustainable living are for sale at the Green Team Table each Sunday.
