Want to know more about improving air quality in our area? Karl Monetti worked with a diverse, local group to present an air quality improvement plan to the borough that met with rave reviews. The plan is now being implemented, and a new air quality ordinance just passed last Thursday. Get the latest info and learn/share some tips about things we can all do this summer to improve air quality for all seasons.

Join us Friday night at 7 p.m. for Larry Merculieff’s presentation, “Voices of the Aleut Elders for Modern Times/Unungan Ulaazaaz Tunnu Uyam.”  Aleut and other Alaska Native elders carry a deep wisdom about life and Creation from oral histories and life experiences that are sometimes referred to as the “Original Instructions” and “Natural Laws” given to human beings to guide us on how to live in harmony with the Earth and all her creatures. Larry will talk about Elder wisdom as it applies to modern day challenges of Climate Change and human-caused destruction of the planet.  This event is sponsored by the UUFF Green Sanctuary Team as part of its Environmental Justice efforts to broaden our knowledge and connection to Climate Change and its impacts to human and other species. We hope you’ll join us in the sanctuary for Larry’s powerful talk.

Green Sanctuary resumes. That’s re-zooms, not reh-zoo-mays, in case you were wondering.  With the upcoming world-wide attention on October 24th, 350 Day (see www.350.org), it reminds us that we have no time to waste.  The Green Sanctuary Committee will reconvene for their first meeting of the season on Thursday, October 29th, at Gulliver’s Second Story Cafe back room at 11:30 AM.  We welcome new, interested planet-lovers to join us for a strategy-storming session on how to kick-off our UUFF efforts this winter.

Imagine for a moment a religious community that has a fundamental, bottom-line commitment to living in harmony with the Earth.  What would it look like?  How can we embody our seventh principle – respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part – in our daily practice at home, school, work, in our UUFF lives and in our broader community?  We will be joining the growing movement of more than 85 UU congregations across the country who are certified by UUA as a Green Sanctuary. Anna Plager will lead a discussion of what’s involved in becoming a Green Sanctuary.
