Join the Carbon Fast for 2009

With my better half poised to Teach her class all about Shrove Tuesday, starting with a pancake making session (our fridge full of milk and eggs!), I've decided to see if I can manage another carbon fast this year. My attempt last year went reasonably well, even if I do say so myself!
As per last years, the fast kicks-off on day 1 (25th Feb), with the removal of a light bulb from the home, the idea being that it's a reminder of what you're doing for Lent, as well as the obvious reduction in energy consumption. Each day you're challenged to do one task that will help the environment.
If you followed the Tearfund fast last year, you will know that Tearfund is a Christian run organisation and hence does have a few Churchy based tasks. Please don't be put off by these, you can always come up with your own ideas, which I did last year! The important thing is to get involved.
So, only a few days to go, have a look at the Tearfund website and download the carbon fast daily actions and away you go.
I'll also be writing about my successes and failures and would love to hear about yours!
If you fancy writing on this blog, please get in touch.
