Contact StartingNow [at] cox [dot] net (Mathew Taylor)

We are an environmental action committee, researching and promoting environmentally sustainable lifestyles in Northern Virginia and beyond. A Unitarian Universalist Association Green Sanctuary, we drive projects in areas including residential, ethical eating, transportation, green burial, and more.

We are organized to deliver:

• Sustainable living practices
• Environmental justice and community outreach
• Worship and celebration events
• Adult and youth religious education

Latest Projects:

• The Green Sanctuary Residential Task Force was given funding from an anonymous donor to provide very low cost professional energy audits to 20 households. Mr. Troy Tanner, President of The Home Energy Detective, Inc. is performing these audits.  Troy has generously allowed the PowerPoint he presented at the UUCF Adult Education Program on Sunday, November 13 to be posted here. 

• Ethical Eating Draft Statement of Conscience
• Check out our Teaching Garden, located between the Administration Building and Teen Center!

Ongoing Committees:

• Green Sanctuary Group's Residential Task Force meets every other Sunday at 7 p. m. in the Program Building.  Join us to work on -- managing a "Lending Library" of items used to make homes energy efficient, partnering with Religious Education to develop environmental education, promoting sustainable operation of our campus and sharing factual information on Climate Change and Energy Shortages.
