 Day 13
   What You Can Do Today

EATING, SHOPPING, GROWING... TREADING MORE LIGHTLY
 
Cultivating simplicity is essential to a low carbon life. Fasting from carbon requires us to address more than our driving habits and electricity usage, as everything we purchase involves emissions in its production and distribution. Today, see a more complete picture of your carbon footprint through this fun and interactive carbon calculator. Then come up with one way that you personally can reduce your carbon footprint.

  

   With Your Church

 

This week will focus on a proper relationship with food and the land as a means of simplifying our lives and walking closer to God.  As the books of the Hebrew Bible make clear time and time again, the land is one of God's most precious gifts.  Is your church using its land to celebrate God's creation?  Consider starting a garden at your church, at any scale.  You could invite other faith groups to take part, or open up the garden to your neighboring community.  Download a Cool Havest kit from Interfaith Power & Light for tips.
