Living Lightly 24:1 - a simpler, greener lifestyle commitment from A Rocha UK, the Christian environmental charity

Having done a session a couple of weeks back with summer school students on rules of life with environmental and justice concerns in mind, I come across now a further resource which I wish I'd known about then ...
Welcome to Living Lightly 24:1, a simpler, greener lifestyle commitment from A Rocha UK. There must be more to life than working, consuming, acquiring and being sucked into a value system that we know is wrong.
There is more! Living Lightly 24:1 offers a renewed vision of the world and alternative way of living; a virtual Christian community to be part of! It is not a long list of "dos" and "don'ts", but a journey of discovery, seeking to live with delight and gentleness in God's World.
The 24:1 Commitment - believing - 'The Earth is the Lord's and everything in it' (Psalm 24:1)
The 24:1 Challenge - behaving - Living lightly in God's World
The 24:1 Community - belonging - Caring for God's World together.

Ah well, at least I can commend it to you! The advantage of it seems to be, like Greenbelt's 'Generous' project, that it offers a community facility where people can discuss pros and cons of actions and commitments and exchange good practice.
