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

Four newcomers have added their names to the growing list of support for clean energy. Keeping the provisions we have in the IRA will lower energy bills and bring jobs and investment to their districts (and across America).

There is no shortage of grief and loss to share right now. Yet, the promise of Lent is of compost- that through Death, New Life will emerge. For Lent, we will be sharing stories of Life, or “Good Green News." Please share stories of hope and creation care emerging from your church and community!
