UUFSD’s Solar Story

Fellowship member Debbie Hecht recently submitted an article to UUA World magazine. She chronicles the journey to install solar here at UUFSD eight years ago. Debbie wrote it to inspire other Fellowships, but it’s also a tribute to what can be accomplished when a small group of committed, like-minded individuals work together to make a difference. You’re invited to bring your passion to the Climate Action Committee meeting. The next one is Jan. 7 via Zoom https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82539573413?pwd=AeBbAd8ZMYOzwrVs1kObV9K8xZuHZw.1

Here’s an excerpt from the article:
“In 2017, my friend, and our current UUFSD President, Linda Giannelli Pratt and I were co-chairs of the Environmental Justice Task Force. We surveyed the membership to understand the biggest environmental issues facing the day-to-day operation of the fellowship, and how to best fulfill our ongoing stewardship of the property. The top three issues were the use of solar power, zero waste and recycling, and using a financial institution that had investments congruent with UU values. Amazingly, we accomplished all three projects in 2 years.”
