The mission for the UU Community for Earth is the Seventh Principle of the Unitarian Universalist  faith- “Respect for the Interdependent Web of all existence, of which we are a part.”  We come together in a community of those who experience Earth as an integral part of their spiritual lives, and who wish to work toward the healing of the planet as an act of spiritual witness and advocacy. Past projects have included the Alternative Gift Market, the Get Rid of Junk Mail Pledge Program, the Food for Thought and Action Program, and the Global Warming:1, 2, 3 Pledge Program.
