We hope you had a blessed Lenten season. Feel free to e-mail comments about your Carbon Fast experience at PlymouthCarbonFast@sunflower.com.

Replace the light bulb you removed at the start of the Carbon Fast (make sure it’s an energy saving one!) Review the actions you've taken during Lent. Make a list of three or four that you want to keep doing this month. Repeat each month, or when you can, to get into carbon saving habits. Give thanks to God for your Carbon Fasting experience and pray that he may help you to sustain what you have done during Lent.

Take a shower instead of a bath. Look into getting a more efficient shower with a ‘low-flow’ shower head. Low-flow shower heads mix air with water flow which can decrease the amount of water needed by half. Look for shower heads rated at less than 2 gallons of water per minute.

What's your local community doing to tackle climate change? Could you encourage local businesses or shops to switch off lights each evening, support greener travel to work, insulate their buildings or switch to renewable energy?

Less is more. Try to buy food with the least, or most recyclable, packaging and avoid disposable plastic bags. Packaging is energy-intensive, it accounts for 7 percent of food system energy use.

Cook double portions. Bulk-cook and freeze extra portions to reheat when you need them.

Focus on the world. Check the news headlines and pray for the people behind one news story that impacts the environment or a developing country.

Block unused fireplaces. Stuff scrunched-up newspaper up unused fireplaces to stop heat escaping through the chimney – a good method as it still allows a little air to circulate.

Make do and mend. Do you have clothes you could wear longer if you gave them a little TLC? Spend some time doing old-fashioned mending.
