Recent studies suggest that widespread weight loss—driven in part by GLP-1 receptor agonists—could significantly reduce fuel use and emissions, from commercial aviation to cars and even electric vehicles. The logic is simple: more weight requires more energy to move, whatever the mode of transport. Yet beyond pharmaceuticals, the essay turns to a much older and often misunderstood solution—proper Christian fasting. By intentionally reducing consumption, fasting not only disciplines the body and frees resources for almsgiving, as taught by the Church Fathers, but also incidentally lessens one’s environmental footprint. While Christians do not fast for the sake of climate activism, an ascetical way of life may prove to be one of the most practical and humane responses for those concerned about climate change today. #ClimateChange #ChristianFasting #Asceticism #Consumption #GLP1 #Ozempic #WeightLoss #Environment #OrthodoxChristianity #Simplicity #Sustainability #SaintJohnChrysostom #Phroneo #FaithAndLife #phroneo #phroneopodcast #globalwarming
