The easiest way to become better versions of ourselves is with the help and support of our community, through the strength of acting together. In the Green Sanctuary program, the results of individual actions accumulate to create a larger impact than from each person acting alone. Together we can see the difference, and together we can reinforce one another's commitments.

By taking this short survey, you will allow us to see where we are, and in which directions we may want to grow.

If you would like to see your carbon footprint, please visit beliefnet.com, or environment.nationalgeographic.com (where many of these questions originate), or one of the many sites you'll find when you Google "carbon footprint".

To get even more involved in environmental issues at 2U, please join us on Saturday, March 15, at 1 p.m. in 2U's Fleishman Hall to brainstorm ideas for our Green Sanctuary Action Plan. The Action Plan is our third step in becoming accredited as a Green Sanctuary with the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). To RSVP, or if you can't make the meeting but would like to submit ideas, please email Libby Harvey-Hill at threebmetaldesign@yahoo.com or Katherine Wolf at katherinerosewolf@gmail.com.
