GIVE IT UP

Today is the first day of Lent, the period of forty (40) days leading up to Easter Sunday during which some practicing Catholics give up a 'vice' of sorts. Catholic or not, consider making a 'green' sacrifice for the next few weeks.

Some examples:

• No meat
• Limiting hot showers to five (5) minutes
• Riding your bike to work one day a week
• Bring in NO new plastic for the next 40 days
