Letter to the editor: Lent is a good time to sacrifice for the environment

As we approach the 2011 Lenten season, let us take time to reflect on the ways that we can enhance our Lenten experience. The Prairie Climate Stewardship Network is inviting communities and people of faith to participate in a carbon fast during the upcoming Lenten season. We are encouraging communities and people of faith to reflect upon the choices we make in energy use and to engage in basic energy-saving practices. Through reflection and action, we may realize how dependent we have become on some choices we make that are ultimately wasteful and damaging to creation.
