An Indian Journey through Lent, Day 25
WEEK #3 of the Anglican Church in southern Asia’s Carbon Fast Program focusses on ENERGY & MOBILITY
“There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number—living things both large and small. There the ships go to and fro.” Psalm 104.25-30
MEAT-FREE MONDAY 24th March: LEARN
Try to calculate how much meat you eat per week/month. Remember that: “A kilogram of steak could be responsible for as many greenhouse gases as driving a car for three hours while leaving all the lights on at home.” (Source: UN)
Tuesday, 25th March AT HOME
Buy energy-efficient appliances. If you’re buying a washing machine, refrigerator, dishwasher or oven, buy the most eco-friendly and energy-efficient model you can afford.
Wednesday, 26th March IN COMMUNITY:
Lean on a neighbour: Carpooling saves money and the environment. Organise to carpool to work next week with your neighbours, colleagues, friends or fellow churchgoers.
Thursday, 27th March SHARE:
Where does your electricity come from? Find out if your government has plans to depend increasingly more on renewable energy such as wind and solar power, and less on coal, nuclear power or shale gas. Write a handwritten letter to a politician, outlining your concerns.
FISH FRIDAY, 28th March LOCAL:
Learn about your neighbourhood. Is it possible to generate solar or wind power in your area? What would the process of utilising these resources look like for your community or your own home?
Saturday, 29th March EARTH HOUR GLOBAL:
Today Earth Hour happens from 8:30 to 9:30 pm. Switch off all electrical appliances, lights etc. for one hour. Gather friends this evening to share a meal that does not require electricity to prepare, and enjoy the hour of darkness together. http://www.earthhour.org/
Sunday, 30th March SABBATH:
Is your church an eco-congregation? An eco-congregation is a faith-based community that makes a commitment to live more sustainably on the earth in response to the wisdom of sacred texts and faith traditions. Find out more by contacting the A Rocha office in your country.
