Green Sanctuary

Green Sanctuary is a program of the Unitarian Universalist Association.  This program is an ambitious environmental and climate justice movement that seeks to live fully our principles and achieve our vision of a sustainable and just world for all.  In February 2020, Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church received its certification as a Green Sanctuary Congregation.

Our mission

 

 

To lead the Congregation and the Community in living our Seventh Principle-
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

 

 

 

Who we are:

The Green Sanctuary Team essentially is composed of the entire congregation. A small group of “Stalwarts”, chaired by Iain Goddard, attends regular monthly meetings and does much of the coordination work for events and projects. “Friends” are anyone who wants to be on the email list for Team discussions and notices. “Everybody” includes all the congregation: minister, staff, members, and friends of the church.

 

 Join us in the movement for Climate Justice

We have direct relationships with our state legislators and with statewide climate justice organizations.

We joined in protesting the new supplemental gas power station on the Danvers River in Peabody.

We fought to bring about the passage of the 2024 Massachusetts omnibus climate law.

Help us in suporting our community

                               
We cultivate a plot in the Endicott Park community gardens (Danvers) and donate the vegetables and herbs to the Danvers People-to-People Food Pantry.
We also support the Danvers Rail Trail and the Ipswich River Watershed Association with annual contributions.
