It’s important to WHUUF’s Members that we live our values. Here are some of the ways we’re helping the planet:

Beach Clean up

The SOLVE Spring Beach Clean-up will be Saturday, March 26. To participate with other UUs sign up downstairs at the Social Justice table. We’ll be at the same beautiful beach as the past few years—Boy Scout Camp Meriwether beach several miles south of Tillamook.

From 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. that Saturday, we will gather with UUs from other churches to act on our Seventh Principle, and help take care of one little part of our earth. The report from the Park Ranger who coordinates that section of the coast is that once again that beach is in particular need of cleaning.

Public Testimony

Our congregants participated in public testimony addressing whether to allow fossil fuel trains through the Columbia Gorge and through Portland and Vancouver;

Recycling and composting

You’ll find recycling containers throughout our campus–and a compost bin just outside the kitchen.

Green Sanctuary

WHUUF is a proud Green Sanctuary congregation. This program offered by the Unitarian Universalist Association provides a path for congregational study, reflection, and action in response to environmental challenges. The Green Sanctuary Program partners with congregations to address climate change and environmental justice. Congregations that complete the program are accredited as Green Sanctuaries in recognition of their service and dedication to the Earth.
