Walk somewhere instead of driving.

I suppose this could say "take the bus..." or "carpool..." or "take your bike..." Have you heard of people choosing to fast from carbon during Lent? A bit out of the ordinary, but reminds me of Ann Arbor singer/songwriter Dick Siegel's lyrics from Mother's Plaint (Mother Planet Rap):

WELL YOU BETTER WALK SOFTER …
SO THE EARTH DOESN’T HATE YA .. . .
AND REMEMBER, MIND YOUR MANNERS
AND BE KIND TO MOTHER NATURE
YOU BETTER WALK A LITTLE SOFTER
JUST A LITTLE BIT SOFTER
JUST A LITTLE BIT SOFTER

God gave us a marvelously complex world to inhabit, sent his son Jesus to redeem the world, and sent the Spirit to remain with us. What amazing love!

How are we reflecting God's gifts back as we "walk" our path here? We have been gifted with so much. Do we need to "walk a little softer"?
