Environmental justice efforts are integral to aiding the Building Our Future Team by offering ideas, expertise, and hands-on assistance for various sustainability projects, including plans to build a solar garden and participating in the UUA’s Green Sanctuary Program. The solar garden project is a community solar energy installation that allows multiple participants to benefit from renewable energy, aiming to reduce our carbon footprint and serve as a model for environmental stewardship. Leveraging the diverse skills and knowledge of our congregation members, we address various aspects of this initiative, from technical design and feasibility studies to education and community outreach. Simultaneously, our commitment to the Green Sanctuary Program involves a comprehensive approach to sustainability that includes energy conservation, waste reduction, and promoting sustainable lifestyles within our congregation.
