Yet, for human beings to destroy the biological diversity in God\u2019s creation; for human beings to degrade the integrity of the earth by contributing to climate change, by stripping the earth of its natural forests or destroying its wetlands; for human beings to contaminate the earth\u2019s waters, land and air \u2013 all of these are sins.\u201d Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">Lent is a time when we prepare our hearts and lives before celebrating the wonder of Easter. It is a time to break free from bad habits that are hurting God, our neighbour and God\u2019s Creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">On Ash Wednesday when we are signed with the cross, the priest will say<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u201cTurn away from sin and believe the good news\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">This Lent we are challenged to turn from the sin of damaging God\u2019s planet and hurting our neighbours by our over use of single use (throwaway) plastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">By 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish. Plastic is already entering into our drinking water. Plastic clogs our rivers, leaches into our soil and is one of the greatest challenges the planet faces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">The good news is that there are alternatives. We can break our dependency on throwaway plastic. This Lent, begin a journey to explore other ways of living , to limit your damage to the Earth and to inspire others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">Here is a calender of actions you can take during Lent to reduce your plastic use<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenanglicans.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Final-Calender.pdf\">http:\/\/www.greenanglicans.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Final-Calender.pdf<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">The Diocese of Capetown held a Conference on the land and a team put together a Lenten Study programme, edited by Rev Shaun Cozett.
