		<description><![CDATA[The large purple banner affixed to St. Mark Presbyterian Church of Bethesda immediately attracted my attention. It read: “Join our Lenten Carbon Fast.” Because I’m both a Christian and a believer in sustainable living, it didn’t take long for me to contact the church to learn more about this event.

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, I launched my &#8216;buy used&#8221;  commitment with the purchase of a new-to-me television at an estate sale.
Initially, I was excited because it appeared to be a great deal. The price was right &#8212; $50 for a 3-year old, 40-inch model in very good  operating condition.
Big mistake
