Title

Carbon Fasting

Description

Many faith organizations, including Interfaith Power & Light, Earth Ministry, and Creation Justice Ministries, promote carbon fasting as a way to make small, personal changes while also drawing attention to society’s unsustainable uses of carbon. Especially in the time of Lent, they encourage everyone to be more mindful of their carbon footprint and as a Lenten discipline, participate in self-imposed restrictions of carbon use. There are many resources provided on how and why to take part in a carbon fast.
