Group calls for eco-related Lenten sacrifices
Posted: March 29, 2015 at 9:50 am
Adopt a vegan lifestyle, walk or bike to churches during Holy Week, and put aside electronic gadgets.
These were the suggestions of environmental group EcoWaste Coalition, which suggested several so-called green Lenten sacrifices.
EcoWaste suggested several ways people can make a green sacrifice especially during the Holy Week:
- walk or bike to Holy Week destinations, including during the Visita Iglesia.
- forego an out-of-town family event, and instead give the money saved to charitable institutions and events.
- don't use plastic bags, plastic bottles, one-use cups and plates, and other single-use-disposable items. Instead, use bayong and reusable water bottles.
- don't take junk foods and beverages, fast food, cigarettes, and other intakes that damage the health and the environment.
- put aside electronic gadgets, and use the Holy Week for meaningful bonding moments with loved ones and to commune with nature and God.
- turn off lights for longer hours than usual, avoid TV, use manual fan instead of an air conditioner or electric fan, conserve water, and avoid food waste.
- begin segregating, composting, recycling, and reusing items that are ready for disposal.

Food For Thought, London’s iconic vegetarian restaurant, set for closure
Posted: at 9:50 am
Its a great shame if any vegetarian restaurant is closing, particularly one of such calibre, said chef and food writer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Photograph: Alamy
One of Londons most iconic vegetarian restaurants, Food For Thought in Covent Garden, is set to close after more than 40 years of business because of the areas rising rent prices.
The busy cafe, known for serving up consistently good food at reasonable prices and being popular with celebrities such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mark Strong, will be closing for good on 21 June this year.
A statement on the restaurants website said: The time has come to call it a day. For more than 40 years Food For Thought has withstood the corporate march, refusing to be processed, packaged or pocketed. For as long as was viable we have remained resolutely independent, offering food that is unashamedly home-spun and hand-made. We have loved being here and hope you have too.
Laura Roberts, 29, who has been working as a waitress at the cafe for two years, said the closure feels like the end of an era: Its very sad. Weve had lots of support from local people that have been coming for years, but unfortunately it just seems impossible to drag Food For Thought into the future because of the rent hikes.
The news comes at a time when many small businesses in the capital are falling victim to spiralling rents. In nearby Chinatown in the West End, which has been an enclave of oriental food since the 1950s, eateries are being forced to shut as owners are struggling to pay the rising prices.
Roberts feels London is changing and closures such as this have become inevitable: If you cant pay the rent then you cant carry on. Its only chains that can afford to be around here now. I wonder which one will replace it.
Jeremy Lee, a chef and London restaurant owner, is similarly pessimistic. Its very sad that this is happening so much in our beautiful city, he said. Most likely another hideous, ugly block with no one living in it will take its place. Theres very little left in Covent Garden and London is beginning to look just like any other city.
Lee added: Of course things must go on, but if London cant even support small places like this then its quite peculiar. I will miss this area very much. Developers seem to have carte blanche on everything now, its very odd.
According to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, the chef and food writer, Food For Thoughts closure will represent a real blow to Londons culinary scene.
