Anyone giving up anything for Lent? (3 Viewers)

Church advocates carbon fast for Lent



The Church of England is urging people to cut down on carbon, rather than chocolate, for Lent this year.


Two senior bishops within the church are joining with development agency Tearfund in calling for a cut in personal carbon use for each of the 40 days of Lent, which begins tomorrow.


The Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones, who is also vice-president of Tearfund, and the Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, have launched the "carbon fast" in response to what they say is an "urgent need" to reduce carbon emissions, and to protect poor communities around the world that are "already suffering from the ravages of climate change".

i was goaded into promising to join a bunch of other mostly non-believers in college so we can all suffer together. they're giving up sober smoking, using stumbleupon, and other piddly little things. i'm going to try giving up being unconstructively negative.






i'm in SO far over my head.
 
i suggested giving up swearing for a laugh..my family were way more into that idea than i hoped!but there is no fucking way i'm doing that.what on earth would I say while driving?
 
When i was in school we HAD to give up something so I gave up pork chops cos I hated them.

This year I'm attempting to give up chocolate. However I'm going on holidays in two weeks so we'll see how long that lasts..
