Carbon Fast for Lent: 2009

The Etsy shop has been quiet but steady. I haven’t been good about blogging but we continue to make quarterly donations to Carbonfund.org. I also wanted to mention an earth-friendly activity we're doing at my house for the second year now: the Carbon Fast for Lent. This was the brainchild of a group in England called Tearfund. The idea is to undertake a simple action each day during Lent, to reduce one's carbon footprint. The daily actions appear on Tearfund’s web site here. They also have an RSS feed, which I’m posting in this blog’s right sidebar. Or you can sign up for a daily email reminder (or download the full 40-day schedule as a PDF) on their site.

Here are four 30-second films to get us started!
