‘Journeys in carbon-free discipleship’
ecocell 2 is for those of us who are willing to take on the very demanding commitment of completing the journey to sustainability.
We will commit ourselves to getting our carbon footprints down to the level required for sustainability. We will also ensure that we respect the laws of nature (in which we see the hand of our Creator) and the needs of the natural world, in all aspects of our lives.
ecocell 2 is for people who have completed ecocell 1or an equivalent programme. It will involve significant further learning, very committed action at the personal level, and at the local political level. Like in ecocell 1, we will be supported through prayer, poetry, stories and group activities, and by a range of resources available from CEL. We anticipate that this stage will take a period of about five years, to make the necessary changes in our lives.
