Rain and snow hit the ground and provide all life with nourishing water. When rain falls onto solid human-made surfaces, instead of filtering into the ground, it rushes off to the nearest creek. Our cars drip salts, grime and other pollutants, and the rain water carries these to our streams. At UUCL, water rushes down the hillside, taking soil with it to the creek. With Lexington's streams in rough shape from decades of neglect, our city pays 80% to fund qualified projects to improve water quality. For UUCL, this means that the city is paying 80% of the cost for a new permeable parking lot with built-in water filtering, improvements at the entrance and along the drive, canopy trees, and an attractive painted labyrinth! UUCL must raise 20% of the costs to finish the deal. Through doTERRA Healing Hands, turn your $10 into $20 or $1000 into $2000. Their match will turn our $15,000 into $30,000. Support our 7th principle, respect for the interdependent web of life where we all live.
