Give Up Your iPod or Blackberry For Lent?

Submitted by Kas Report on Thu, 02/18/2010 - 23:27

Some British church leaders are encouraging people to give up their iPods for Lent, instead of more traditional vices such as chocolate, to help save the planet

As well as spending a day without using technology such as mobile phones or iPods, the 46 daily suggestions also include eating by candlelight, cutting meat and vegetables thinner so they cook faster and flushing the toilet less often.
“Instead of giving up chocolate for Lent, why not fast for justice … to help those suffering from the effects of climate change,”.

I happen to be severely addicted to Blackberry, that it would be the hardest sacrifice, I could possibly live without my iPod.

Would you give up your iPod or Blackberry for lent?
