God already made a day to slow down--
--and NOT for the Planet, but for Man...
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath:Genesis 2:2,3/Mark 2;27
"The 10:10 movement supported by the Guardian is a wonderful way to empower ordinary people to participate in the great movement of mitigating global warming.
One thing we can easily do to achieve this goal: we can declare Sunday to be a fossil fuel-free day or a low-carbon day or at least an energy-saving day....This will be good for our personal health as well as for the health of the planet.
The external problem of carbon emissions is connected with the internal problem of desire. If we stay in the rat-race 24 hours, seven days a week, we are bound to pollute our inner space as well as the outer space. Speed is the curse of modern civilization.
The solution to global warming is simple: slow down. Slow is beautiful. Even if we cannot slow down every day, at least slow down on Sunday.
--If you are a Christian then Slow Sunday should be natural to you, --if you are a Muslim make Friday your low-carbon day,
--if you are Jewish then Saturday can be your day to save energy,
--if you follow a secular way of life then choose your own carbon-free day.
At least on Sunday we can be citizens rather than consumers."
