It was 1990, ...This is what Earth Day means to me.<br /><br />It was 1990, a year after becoming a lay Carmelite (OCSD) when just before Lent thru God's amazing grace I came to understand I was killing people thru my GHG emissions -- contributing to increasing droughts & famines in Africa, etc. It was a tough lent being nailed on the cross, the repentant thief next to Jesus, not knowing what I could do to reduce, until Holy Week when I understood I was the Roman soldier nailing Jesus to the cross...all the time him forgiving me, tho I knew what I was doing.<br /><br />So when Earth Day came the following week, I went to the festivity in the park and watched TV carefully, and solution by solution came to me. I was filled with joy to be on the road to reducing my enviro harm to people and God's other creatures. Since then we've reduced our GHGs by 60% cost-effectively.<br /><br />Earth Day 1990 was a practical solution answer to my fervent Lenten prayers. It was God's wonderful gift to me.<br /><br />LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-53688003334126500482010-04-20T09:25:42.176-04:002010-04-20T09:25:42.176-04:00Okay, I now know to keep out of St. Raphael's....Okay, I now know to keep out of St. Raphael's.Dymphnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469622835449220113noreply@blogger.com
