Great suggestion 4) if you do buy a plastic bottle, use it as your reusable!
Given plastic bottles mostly go to sea, won’t you please: 1. If you don’t have one, buy and start using a reusable travel mug or water bottle. 2. Stop buying single use plastic bottles. 3. If you have to buy a plastic bottle, say you’re sorry to the ocean it will end up in. https://twitter.com/uumfe/status/1126857079673769984 …
Yes to patience! I'm particularly fond of the formula = focus + persistence + patience. Ah, nature. You're the best... Have a great Friday, @RevDebra.

Unitarian Universalist leaders: Have you declared a climate emergency in your congregation yet? If not, please do. Yes? Yes! Great and thank you
We don’t want any UU houses of worship serving as houses of climate denial... https://twitter.com/billmckibben/status/1123660054660386816 …

Speaking of the @UUA #UUAGA conference, checkout efforts to “Green General Assembly” over the years. Impressive! @UUMFE @UUClimateAction https://www.uua.org/ga/justice/greening …
If you're going to the @UUA's General Assembly conference, don't forget to make a plan to minimize / offset your carbon emissions. Air travel is a luxury our climate can't afford. What's your plan?

And if your congregation’s ministry team hasn’t quite come to terms with climate change and the need for our moral leadership, talk to them as well. https://twitter.com/uusj/status/1121525949281992712 …
Yes! This is so true. As this post via the @UUA’s Commission on Institutional Change @UUA_OnChange says, “Informal structures rely on social relationships and thus tend to privilege people from the dominant culture in a community or organization.” https://twitter.com/uua_onchange/status/1121495500283351040 …

Well that’s depressing. But I do like the idea of a pulpit with buttons you can press! Let’s see, one to activate the disco ball, one button to mute all other mics , one to activate holographic interactive Earth to show climate scenarios...
Happy Sunday! What’s happening in your UU congregation / life today? Tweet with one or more of these hashtags: #UUSunday #UUTwitter #SundayMorning + tag for theme of service or content you’re tweeting about.pic.twitter.com/K66Ax9H8hY
Thank you. I missed it when you released it. Going to watch now.
Yes, UU alone gets used for all sorts of things! I think we should make it a larger question, bring it to those who have been using the UUSunday hashtag, weaving in some social media strategy / education. But I need to do that for NEXT Sunday.
Do you like UUSunday? What do you think? The SundayMorning tag trends every week so I wonder if doing UUTwitter + SundayMorning is better for visibility.
