More About Environmental Justice
While the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has passed many resolutions and statements addressing environmental concerns over the years, these statements have not necessarily recognized the social justice aspect of environmentalism.
In 1994 the UUA voted to adopt a Statement of Conscience called Environmental Justice, which specifically pertaining to the issue of environmental justice. This Statement of Conscience encourages Unitarian Universalists to address environmental concerns through the lenses of gender, race and class at the denominational, congregational, and personal level.
Given our long history of working for gender and racial justice, environmental justice is a natural extension of our values expressed in the world.
