Project Codes
The codes after the title of each project refer to the four Green Sanctuary focus areas:
| W | Worship and spiritual practice are central to congregational life, helping to ground our work and deepen our relationships with each other and with Earth. |
| RE | Religious education for our children is designed to prepare them to live sustainably and with integrity. |
| EJ | Environmental justice challenges us take action to create a just society, so that the benefits we receive in our lives do not come at the expense of others. |
| SL | Sustainable living focuses on many issues in our day-to-day lives that have a particular impact on Earth, especially those relating to energy, landscaping, building management, waste management, transportation, food, and water. |
