The trendy faction of the Anglican Communion is suggesting a “carbon fast” for Lent:

Archbishop Thabo Makgoba has invited Anglicans around the globe to join him in a Carbon Fast for Lent.

This is excellent news, as I’ve just learned that earthworms are a significant contributor to global warming.

No matter how strong the temptation to the contrary, I will be eschewing all contact with carbon spewing earthworms this Lent.
