Reflection for the Sixth Week of Easter
Laudato Si and Laudate Deum invite us to simplify our homes and general discretionary budgets to leave a smaller human imprint on the environment. This article from the Center for Action and Contemplation is especially challenging. As you read it — see the link to the webpage below — consider the following questions for Meditation:
1. Will my current savings and retirement plans leave me with some discretionary income to move to products that may cost a bit more but are friendly to the environment?
2. What can I give away or sell on eBay in my household now? E.g. gently used clothing to thrift stores (or become more educated as how and where Clothing Drives fulfill their goals), appliances I never use.
3. Can I ask my electric company to access sustainable energy for my electric bill?
4. Enjoy more plant-based meals.
