January 29, 2024Greener Lent encourages participants to do the following:- Intensify prayers, especially for the poor whose livelihoods are being destroyed by the climate crisis and that we may follow Christ more closely.
- Sacrificially reduce the amount of meat eaten by choosing a fasting level which expands the established days of abstinence for Catholics during Lent, and provides a Biblically based penance for all Christians. Reducing or eliminating meat significantly impacts the participants carbon footprint during Lent.
