學習節制，向一切奢侈消費品及娛樂消費說「不」
Day 21 of Lent 12 March 2010 (Friday)
Scripture Meditation> Luke 10:25-37
1. If the ‘good Samaritan’ story happened in a nowadays situation with environmental and climatic problem, then whose neighbour are we?
2. Do we act like thieves robbing the earth of its natural resources?
Carbon Fast
> Confess
In the economic benefit-orientated development of today’s world, people arbitrarily strip the earth of its resources, leading to global warming, ecological imbalance, deforestation, ocean and land pollution, etc. We, as a consumer, are accountable to stripping nature of its "clothes”, exploiting impoverished communities, which lived on the natural resources, and neglecting their sufferings.
> ‘Say “No”’
Recommend to you, from now on to Easter, to spend money on daily necessities only, learning self-control and saying 'No’ to any luxury consumer products and entertainment.

大齋期第21日 2010年3月12日（星期五）
默想經文＞路加福音十章25至37節
1. 若將「好撒瑪利亞人」故事套在現今環境與氣候問題的處境，我們是誰的鄰舍呢？
2. 我們可有像強盜那樣，強奪大自然的資源後，不顧而去呢？
減碳行動
＞認罪
在現今以經濟效益主導的發展過程中，人們肆意強奪地球資源，導致全球暖化、生態失衡、森林消失、海洋及土地污染等。而身為消費市場的一份子，你和我皆有份剝奪大自然的「衣裳」，把賴以維生的貧窮社群「打個半死」；然而，我們是否也同樣不顧而去，漠視大自然和貧困者所承受的傷害？
＞「堅決說『不』」
建議你從今天起至復活節，只作基本生活所需的開支，學習節制，向一切奢侈消費品及娛樂消費說「不」。
