The Green Team meets via Zoom on the 4th Wednesday of the Month from 1:30-3:00pm.
The Green Team advocates and educates to promote environmental justice and a sustainable way of life. We seek to connect with the millions of organizations in the world who are working everyday to solve Earth's environmental challenges. The UU 7th Principle: "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part" inspires us to be drivers of change locally, on the Unitarian Universalists of Sarasota campus, and in partnership with organizations all over the region, State, nation, and globe.

Environmental Justice
Creating a sustainable (people, planet and profit) way of life is central to the Green Team’s view of a just and compassionate world. We care for our environment so that it may sustain life for generations to come.

Food Justice
All life is interconnected. Ethical eating recognizes the moral consequences of our food choices. The ways our societies raise, buy, and consume our food have direct effects on the earth, plants and animals, and humans who work to make our food available. Food Justice requires healthy soil for all.
