Carbon Fast

> Praise

Righteousness and justice is part of God’s attributes. ‘For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.’ (Isaiah 61:11) Let us delight greatly in the Lord, my soul rejoices in my God, and praise Him for His righteousness.

> ‘Save the Resources’

An average family can save up to 100kg of CO2 per year by turning off all electronic appliances when not in use. Recommend that you turn off the standby domestic electronic appliances to save water, reduce the amount of carbon emission produced by generating electric power, relieve global warming and care for the needs of impoverished people who are struggling with environmental and climatic problems.

＞讚美

公平與公義是神的屬性，「田地怎樣使百穀發芽，園子怎樣使所種的發生，主耶和華必照樣使公義和讚美在萬民中發出。」（以賽亞書六十一章11節）願意我們因耶和華大大歡喜，我們的心靠祂快樂，並不住地讚美祂的公義。

＞「六『惜』行動」

一個家庭若把不需用的電器關掉，估計每年可減少排放100公斤二氧化碳。建議你從今日開始，關掉家居的備用電器，珍惜用電，減少發電所產生的碳排放，紓緩全球暖化情況，顧念深受環境與氣候問題影響的貧窮社群的困境和需要。
