Green Sanctuary Congregation
In Feb. 2022, ERUUF received the UUA's Green Sanctuary accreditation to bring our congregation into increased environmental awareness and harmony with our planet. The program, approved by the Board in 2017, provides a pathway for our congregation to examine our current environmental impacts and move towards more sustainable, just, and equitable practices grounded in Unitarian Universalism that make us good stewards of the planet.

2018-19: A Year of Congregational Progress on Green Sanctuary Accreditation!
Congratulations to our ERUUF congregational community for the ongoing progress toward our Green Sanctuary Accreditation commitment! As some of you may recall, securing Green Sanctuary became a strategic goal in ERUUF’s 2016-2019 Strategic Plan. Since that time, we have made steady progress to include the acceptance of our Green Sanctuary Action Plan by the UUA Green Sanctuary Program in September 2018.

Green Sanctuary - First Steps, 2017-18
In 2017, ERUUF decided to work toward accreditation as a Green Sanctuary (GS) under a program coordinated by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). ERUUF's Strategic Plan for 2016-2019, approved by the Board in 2017, includes a proposal by Earth Justice to become a Green Sanctuary congregation.
