Mary Rodgers on UUCC‘s efforts to become a green sanctuary

This week Sara sits down with longtime member Mary Rodgers to take a look at UUCC’s Green Sanctuary accreditation process. Listen in to hear more about what being a Green Sanctuary congregation entails, what the scope of the process looks like, and where we are currently in the process. Mary also reflects on why she feels personally connected to this work, digging into her nature loving roots which include reading Silent Spring and participating in the first Earth Day in 1970. Interested in joining in this important and rewarding work? Want to shape UUCC’s climate justice focus areas and work? Save the date for the Climate Team’s Annual Meeting happening Sunday, November 7 at 4pm! The Climate Team also invites you to attend the October 24 service on climate entitled “All In for Climate Justice: Food Equity & Sustainability.” Referenced in this episode:
