[Green] Job descriptions for Green Sanctuary Committee

[Dawn Hewitt]

Sorry this took me so long, Michelle. Here it is, at long last…. 

The mission of FUUSM’s Green Sanctuary Committee is "To guide and encourage FUUSM and the wider community to live our Seventh Principle and achieve our vision of a sustainable and just world for all.” To that end, our committee is busy year ‘round with sundry projects and events, working cooperatively with other committees and groups within the congregation, providing leadership toward the goals of the Seventh Principle. Members of the committee plan, lead, or assist with these activities, some of which are co-hosted with other groups, including Mid-Ohio Valley Climate Action, Citizen’s Climate Lobby, and the Sierra Club. Some ongoing, recent and typical events we have undertaken include public screenings of environmental-themed films, staffing an Earth Day booth, encouraging and monitoring recycling at local events, letter-writing campaigns, gardening classes, “Just Dinners,” assisting with community meals to reduce waste, fund-raising for bigger projects, such as FUUSM’s solar array and energy-efficiency upgrades to the RE building, selling fair-trade coffee to promote sustainability in congregational life, and much more. In addition to participating in these events, GSC members are often called upon to brainstorm on our activities and projects. Members of this committee are called upon to think, plan, and participate!


Best,

—Dawn Hewitt
