Environment
We are committed to respecting and protecting our planet.
We reduce our environmental footprint through:
- Green Sanctuary Church
First UU was certified as a Green Sanctuary Church in the 2000s. Wherever feasible, we observe and have observed Green principles in the construction, maintenance, and landscaping of First UU, including the establishment of a certified Monarch butterfly habitat. - Solar panels to provide part of our electricity
- Composting to reduce the amount of trash going to a landfill
- An induction cooktop, which is more efficient and reduces heat in the kitchen.
We speak up and educate ourselves and others:
- Fridays for the Future (Wichita Facebook page)
- Sierra Club (Kansas chapter)
