Our 14th day of Good News for Lent is also Global Recycling Day! Building infrastructure to keep solar out of landfills is essential for a transition to renewables. bit.ly/re-solar

Good Green News for Lent, Day 9! But remember-- renewables, especially through the IRA, are under attack. Follow ELCA Advocacy and make SURE you're telling your elected officials how much you value wind and solar! Let's make this good news CONTINUE! See the data at: bit.ly/bye-coal

Encouragement for Lent, Day 6! Lent encourages the discipline of individual practices. But does it even make a difference when we're fighting something like climate change?? Yes and no. Like earthworms, we can transform the world: bit.ly/earthworm-impact

Connections calls are ALWAYS good green news, right? 😉 Tomorrow we will join together for discussion in what feels like a particularly heavy Lent for Creation. Wonder together with us what it means to be a disciple in Creation and new life in a time dominated with news of Death. bit.ly/AshLife
