Starr King UU - January Earth Ministry

Join Earth Ministry at Starr King Church! Our next meeting will be on Sunday 27 January at 12:30 P.M. to continue planning for our Green Sanctuary effort. We are starting our environmental assessment to see where we stand in several areas. Once that is completed, we can develop our plan of action. The assessment will cover several areas. The following questions will be answered.

• ENERGY: What are your energy usage patterns and current conservation practices?
• RECYCLING: What are the local recycling procedures and what is your level of compliance?
• NON-DISPOSABLE MATERIALS: What are the existing policies for use of non-disposable materials, environmentally friendly cleaning supplies, etc.?
• PURCHASING AND INVESTING: What existing church policies govern purchasing and investing decisions? Are your investments in keeping with your environmental and other social values?
• LANDSCAPING: Do you have landscaping policies that direct use of native species, landscape chemicals, etc?
• RELIGIOUS EDUCATION: What current religious education programs relate to the environment for both children and adults?
• WORSHIP: How well does your worship integrate the wisdom of the Earth?
