• UUCR 2026 Environmental Footprint

    As part of our desire to improve our congregation’s environmental sustainability, we hope you will help UUCR’s Environmental Action Group measure the congregation’s environmental footprint. We conducted a very similar survey in October 2024, continuing to redistribute the survey every two years helps us track UUCR's progress and inform future efforts. This survey includes questions designed to assess how people travel to UUCR, travel long-distance on official UUCR business, what types of food people bring to UUCR, and gather your thoughts on UUCR’s environmental initiatives.  All questions in this survey are directed towards your personal activities during the past 12 months. The results will be more accurate if all family members of driving age or older take this survey individually. The survey is estimated to take 5-15 minutes. All responses will be kept confidential and survey results will only be disseminated in aggregate.
