Ecology Task Force

Following guidelines from the Unitarian Universalist Ministry For The Earth, the mission of the Ecology Task Force is to provide information about dangerous challenges to our precious Earth’s air, water, and land through speakers, videos, and workshops at both Main Line Unitarian Church and in nearby communities. We are deeply concerned about the terrible health risks and injustices that result from mountain top removal, coal processing, drinking water contamination, climate change, and drilling for gas in the Marcellus Shale deposit.

Our goals are to increase awareness of environmental issues, deepen the connection between spiritual practice and sustainable practices, encourage personal lifestyle change, work to heal environmental injustices, and increase community action related to the Unitarian Universalist Seventh Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
