Lenten Fields

I am attempting to follow the Ecumenical Lenten Carbon Fast....which asks that one perform one action per day which results in less carbon.  I receive an email each day with a suggestion.  So I am, at least, reflecting on my own carbon footprint.
However, yesterday I made a decision which I am still weighing:  At a dealership, I        drove a smaller car with more mph (therefore, less carbon) and found that I liked the Ford Fusion quite well.  But I decided against having car notes again.  However, on the other hand, I drive fewer miles each week than I used to and save in-town chores for the must-do trips.  I do think I will buy the more economical car as soon as it seems practicable.  Gee whiz!  You plug in your Iphone and have music, can answer your phone with a little microphone built into the car just over your head, then hang up and your music comes on again.  You may already enjoy that in your car but I so far have not been able to accomplish that.
Ah well.
