Climate & Green Sanctuary survey

Now that our application has been accepted by UUA 😀, one of the next requirements to become a certified Green Sanctuary is to measure our progress – starting with a baseline of where we are now on an array of climate related activities.

Please help us create that baseline by completing this anonymous 10 question survey.
