Earthwise Tips for Lent

EARTHWISE CREATION JUSTICE

You may have heard there is an Economic Black Out happening on Friday, February 28, which is calling on all Americans, to not spend any money. Perhaps we could think about an Economic Black Out for Lent, purchasing only essential items like food, and shopping at local stores versus large retail chains to support our small business neighbors. If you have an essential item that is not food, you could strive to purchase only second hand, or check in with a neighbor to see if they are looking to get rid of that item. Another idea is to try and walk, bike, or carpool to reduce your fossil fuel usage. Or, you could attempt to eat less meat or no meat this Lent. Think creatively about how, this Lent, you can reduce our footprint on the Earth, and ponder how you might serve, rather than consume.
