Back due to popular demand – a new version of the Lenten Carbon Fast! 40 days of tips to care for God’s creation and reduce your carbon footprint. As in past years, our Carbon Fast is based on one developed by Tearfund, an international aid organization based in the U.K..

Their daily tips have been “Americanized” in our version and adapted to address Connecticut and local concerns. This year the tips are organized in six weekly groups, loosely focusing on: Simplicity, Sacrifice, Community, Justice, Creativity, and Generosity. For Carbon Fast veterans who’ve hopefully progressed beyond changing their light bulbs, you’ll see many new tips.

For novices, don’t worry; the daily tips still range widely from simple actions to more difficult lifestyle changes. Try a few or all, as a way to provide contemplative actions during this Lenten season.
