The Green Team
MISSION
Our Mission is to help First Unitarian Church of Omaha become more energy efficient and reduce its carbon footprint to reflect our values and be an example within our Omaha community.
WHAT WE DO
The Green Team collects environmentally conscious individuals in one place. We reduce paper goods by volunteering to do dishes for events. Various leads move forward on green projects, send our team relevant information, ask for help, and call for action through our email at greenteam@firstuuomaha.org.
