  • Why a Green Team? 
    The concept of Green Team's work on environmental advocacy has the goal of realizing "environmental justice." Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people -- regardless of race, ethnicity, income or education level -- in environmental decision-making. United Methodist Women engage in this work with theological and policy bases undersgirding the work of environmental advocacy.

    The Laos women crossed the Mekong river in small numbers - much like refugees --leaving their homeland. On the other side, they were met by Hmong women from the United States, who had once been refugees themselves. The difference between them -- the women from Laos would return to their country after a few days, putting themselves at risk to make the lives of other women and children better.
