The #NoPlasticsForLent initiative, led by young adults across the church, calls us to prayer for creation, to lament the ways we have been complicit in the degradation of the earth, and to action to care for our neighbor in fasting from the things that are hurting our planet.
Join Taina Diaz-Reyes, a member of our community and PhD student in sustainability at ASU, as she leads a discussion on this topic. Taina also serves as an advisor to the ELCA on issues of sustainability and recycling.
