Overview Meatless Monday Recipe Library Earth Care Challenges and Projects

The Unity movement acknowledges the interdependence of all life and holds it sacred. It is a journey of spiritual relationships with Earth and its creatures. It is through awakened consciousness that we see everything as the presence of God.

Novella Keyler is our Earth Care Team Leader. We are already certified as a green church and want to do even more for own community and the wider community. If you are interested in joining our Earth Care Team, send an email to office@abqunity.org with “Earth Care” in the subject line. 

NEW ENERGY EFFICIENT DOORS

The EarthCare Team sponsored a Gala and raised over $4,700 for new side doors. These doors will conserve energy in cold and hot weather. We thank our partners who so generously gave time, funds, and donated supplies as well as items for the gala auction.

EARTHCARE COVENANT USCABQ 2023

Our consciousness reveals that all of creation is connected as one. The story of creation reveals that we are to be good caregivers of the creation. As a people of faith, we commit to a renewed reverence for life and respect for the interdependent web of all existence.

We honor our spiritual commitment to the care, support and defense of the balance between our individual needs and those of nature.

We honor a world in which everything has intrinsic value and where all beings are assured a secure and meaningful life that is ecologically responsible and sustainable.

We agree to transform our individual and congregational lives into acts of moral witness, discarding harmful habits for new behaviors, sustaining the future of the planet for all creation while demonstrating our respect for this harmony and interconnectedness.

We declare our covenant with God to walk upon the Earth for the greatest good of all creation.

MEATLESS MONDAYS as presented by Gina Loveridge & our USCABQ Earth Care Team was a success. See Meatless Monday archives (link below) for many delicious and nutritious recipies.

Never has it been easier to eat less meat, or even to eliminate it entirely! 40+ years ago, there were few tasty options at the grocery store, and restaurants offered almost no choices, but BOY has that changed! There are many benefits to cutting down on the amount of meat you eat - for the environment, for your health, and for the animals.

          The USCABQ Earth Care Team hopes you will give it a try. You don't have to go cold turkey. Instead, try easing into meatless meals. Consider going meatless one day a week. If you don't like the idea of a whole day without meat, start with a couple of meatless dinners each week. Plan meals that feature your favorite entrees that are typically meatless, such as lasagna, soup or pasta salad. Click here for our recipe library. Did you know? Going meatless once a week saves 23,212 gallons of water per year, enough to feed 64 people!
