The Environment Team is guided by the 7th Principle of Unitarian Universalism. We meet once a month to share information and coordinate actions. Feel free to drop in, meet the team, and learn more about our work. To visit a meeting, contact the Outreach Coordinator

The Environment 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.

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, Indigenous, and environmental groups.

There are two dedicated groups within the Enviro Team: the Zero Waste Team, and the Wild Salmon Action Team

✓Ethical Eating

X

✓Stitch ‘n Bitch

Consumption has been estimated to represent 60% of global greenhouse gas emissions and the majority of this consumption happens in cities — MakeSmthng

The Zero Waste Team challenges consumption and disrupts consumer culture by hosting events and workshops on Ethical Eating, Composting, Reducing Food Waste, Buy Nothing, Make Smthng, Zero Plastic, Mending & Alterations, Slow Fashion, and much more.
