Environmental Justice
"Perhaps the most deeply integrated and
compassionate expression of our caring for the planet is our recognition of the
plight of beings who are not flourishing. Some of these beings are humans who
suffer environmental oppression from unjust discrimination of the wealthy and
advantaged in society. Some are other species whose simple right to existence is
not recognized by their oppressors. To act boldly, even radically, to raise such
plights to the recognition of our fellows and provide relief to the oppressed is
perhaps the pinnacle of our religious environmental work." ~ Green Sanctuary

Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA)
"NSEA provides a wide range of volunteer and internship opportunities and actively
seeks to match willing volunteers to the tasks that they most enjoy. Many volunteer
positions are for outdoor activities, working in some connection with the streams in
the local watershed. We do have need as well for assistance in the NSEA office."
Volunteer Work Parties meet on Saturdays in both the spring and fall seasons.
Parties work in designated areas along water banks clearing invasive plants, planting
trees and general bank maintenance. Volunteers are needed and open for all persons
willing to dig in and get a little dirty and have a good time doing something very
constructive.
The November 17th work party participated in cleaning up Whatcom Creek just behind
the Civic Center. Several members of the congregation, youth and adult, participated.
Refreshments were provided by the Bagelry, Starbucks Coffee, Tony's Coffee and the
Community Food Co-op.
