How do I make a Carbon Fast a religious practice/ spiritual discipline?
Pray. Of course you can also study scripture, study other writings from accross the centuries, and more, but prayer can provide connection to God and all of creation as you engage in reducing you carbon footprint. Pray for the earth and all the earth’s inhabitants, especially the poor and marginalized who will be affected the most by the consequences of global warming.
