  • To build and reinforce our Unitarian recognition of the connection between spiritual practice and environmental awareness.

  • Gardening talks by local experts in partnership with the Calgary Horticultural Society and the Permaculture Calgary Guild
  • A community garden program at the church assigns raised beds to people wishing to raise their own vegetables
  • Participation in protest marches and letter-writing related to climate change issues

 

Climate change is undoubtedly the most serious threat to humanity, even though it is often pushed off our radar unconsciously and even deliberately for more flashy and exciting "urgencies". We can all try to reduce our impact, but how do we do that on an individual, congregational, community, municipal, provincial, federal or international level? We at Calgary Unitarians work together to develop plans that we can achieve individually or cooperatively and We invite all who share these values to join us on this journey of connection, sustainability, and hope.
