TVUUC has been formally recognized as an Accredited Green Sanctuary congregation. The Green Sanctuary concept began in 1989 with a discussion on how to make the 7th principle more central to members. Since then, over 146 congregations have been accredited. Achieving this goal is not an end in itself. The Environmental Concerns Committee has been using the guidelines of the Green Sanctuary program to guide our actions since we reformed a few years back. We will continue to be guided by these guidelines in the future and welcome all TVUUC members to work with us. This has been a group effort with many people contributing over the years not just the members of the committee.—Dick Trowbridge
