February 17 is Ash Wednesday that starts a 40-day period where many Christians observe a period of fasting, moderation, self-denial, and spiritual discipline. The Green Sanctuary Committee is asking church members to use this period to reflect on the Climate Crisis and exercise environmental discipline by taking actions to reduce your carbon footprint. Below is a list of some actions you can take to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions:

  • Plan a week during which you cut your car use by using active transport (walk/bike) or combining car errands.
  • Buy locally sourced food when possible.
  • Choose at least one day per week to go meat free and determine how soon you’ll add days to that commitment.
  • Reduce the amount of waste, particularly food waste, you generate by making smart purchases.
  • Enroll in one (or more) LES sustainability programs. Go to https://www.les.com/savings-energy.
  • Tell others of your carbon fasting efforts and encourage them to join you.  ​
Additional suggestions will be offered throughout the Spring season.  Thanks for all you do to lower greenhouse gas emissions!
