Now, many are choosing to give up activities that produce carbon dioxide emissions (a major cause of global warming); this called a "carbon fast." Ideas for a carbon fast include cutting down on driving, turning down thermostats, or giving up use of some electronics such as television. Lenten resources with a focus on stewardship of creation follow: www.prcweb.org/Docs/PRCLentenResource.pdf www.nccecojustice.org/lent.html and from New York Interfaith Power & Light: www.nyipl.org/Lent/PoweringDownManual.pdf North Carolina Interfaith Power & Light also has a resource titled, "Caring for Creation: A Prayer and Action Guide for a Lenten "Fast from Carbon."

Feel free to pass this on... Erik Orion Grassroots Network An Important Message for All OGN Members, Issue 32-4 As members of the Orion community, I believe we all place an important value in being better global participants, and we turn to Orion for its network of mobilized global citizens as well as its support of organizations that work to heal the fractured relationships between people, their communities, and the land. Because you share these values, I want to offer you a special opportunity to learn about one of the most important but neglected corners of the human community. My name is Dave Favreau, Marketing Director with Cultural Survival. Since 1972, Cultural Survival has been a global leader in the fight to protect indigenous lands, languages, and cultures around the world. Through its programs, events, and publication Cultural Survival works in partnership with indigenous peoples, advocating for native communities whose rights, cultures, and dignity are under threat. One of our primary vehicles is our magazine, the Cultural Survival Quarterly (CSQ). The CSQ brings readers inside indigenous cultures around the world, sharing their ways of life, their spirituality, their celebrations, and their challenges, all with stunning photography and intimate insights and news from native writers and experts. There is no publication like it, and few that can boast its quality of content, as multiple awards show. We are looking to increase our reach, and knowing that you share our values, we invite you and your relations to become connected to a wider world by subscribing to the Cultural Survival Quarterly. As a special offer to the Orion Community we are offering a year subscription to the CSQ for only $7 saving you over 84% off our regular individual rate of $45. By accepting and sharing this special offer with others you are helping our urgent work while fulfilling an important part of our mission, educating the public about indigenous issues and cultures. Please extend this invitation to anyone you want. We thank you for your interest and we are asking for your support. To take advantage of this offer please follow this link: www.cs.org/Orion.

Then you need the recently released Carbon Footprint Counter! OGN member Sopris Foundation is looking for partners to print and distribute their "Daily Carbon" guide. It's modeled after the Monterey Bay Aquarium's "Fish Facts." Cards are just 6 cents each; 1000 cards for $60! This wallet-sized card identifies the carbon intensity of various daily activities and consumer goods-- like drinking coffee, driving, going to the gym, or taking a shower. Target audiences might include Farmer's Markets, conference attendees, film festivals, event patrons, high school environmental clubs, sustainability coordinators, utility customers, or restaurants. Without a significant increase in carbon literacy, America will have trouble reaching its carbon goals. To preview Daily Carbon (and supporting calculations) go to: http://www.soprisfoundation.org/projects.html The Foundation has invested $13,000 into the research and design of the cutting edge data on the card. The 6 cent price to OGN partners is only the printing cost, so please consider adding this to your outreach plans this year: perhaps in time for Earth Day? ? -- Erik Hoffner Orion Grassroots Network 888-909-6568 http://www.oriongrassroots.org The Orion Grassroots Network provides services and support to grassroots organizations engaged in ecological, social, and cultural change. -------------- next part -------------- Skipped content of type multipart/related
