Vancouver Unitarians

The Enviro Team is made up of a diverse group of people with many different interests that intersect in different ways. What brings us together is a desire to protect the environment. Currently, many of us are organizers, peace marshals, or participants in the marches and rallies against pipelines, tankers, and climate change. As well, we organize film screenings, educational events, and fundraising dinners in support of various social justice, First Nations, and environmental groups.

Our Green Fund provides funding for innovative projects which carry out our environmental sustainability mission through worship, ethical action, education and artistic expression. Most of the funds raised by Environment Committee fundraising events are contributed to the Green Fund and have helped finance ‘Greening of the Church’ to reduce our carbon footprint as well as bring in speakers to our many fundraisers, film screenings, and educational events.

If you like cooking and hanging out in the kitchen, we’d love to meet you! We put on several organic, vegan / vegetarian lunches a year for our Green Fund. By serving these meals, we want to show that eating low on the food chain is not only good for the planet, but do-able and delicious! Working together in the kitchen is also a great way to get to know people on the committee and get the scoop on the latest issues!>

Alexandra Morton was guest speaker at our Earth Day Service on April 18, 2021.

The Enviro Team organizes the Earth Day Service held on the Sunday nearest April 22 (the official date for Earth Day.)

The first Earth Day Service was held at UCV in the mid-1990s. It’s become one of the highlights of the UCV calendar year, where we mark our reverence for nature and the interdependent web of all existence.
