​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.  See this powerpoint on socially responsible investing to understand where you put your dollars matter. 


​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.  The Green Team is proud to share our healthy soils booklet with our local larger community.
