Vegetarian Cooking Show!
Many science researchers tell us that reining in climate change cannot really happen unless the people of this planet eat a more plant-based diet. To that end, UUCC’s Plant-Rich Diet team has created a Meatless Monday Cookbook and has begun hosting a Vegetarian Cooking show that will air live via Zoom on five Sundays over a 10 week period. All start at 5pm. Registration Required

Annual Climate Meeting
UUCC Climate Crisis Annual Meeting & Call To Action took place via Zoom on November 15, 2020.
Each November, the UUCC Climate Crisis (“2U4C”) steering team takes stock of the past year and plans for the upcoming year. After a brief review of this past pandemic-focused year, we looked ahead to 2021.
This was people’s chance to get involved and help set our direction for 2021! All attendees were given a chance to vote and volunteer for the topics they want to participate in for 2021. We will proceed in 2021 with all topics which get a critical mass of support.
