Climate Justice Fast

November 18th, 2009 · No Comments

Earthlust invites you to participate in a Climate Justice Fast. We are organizing a rolling fast at Swarthmore College, where at least one person will give up food each day, for 24 hours, leading up the UN climate negotiations in Copenhagen. We will be ‘passing the fast’ in solidarity with a group fasting for the entire period leading up to Copenhagen (climatejusticefast.com). We aim to send a powerful message to the public and to our political leaders about the urgency of climate change and the need for strong solutions at home and on the international stage by giving up an impactful form of consumption for 24 hours.

Please visit the “Climate Justice Fast: About” page to learn more about how the campaign works and why we are participating.  The “Climate Justice Fast:People” page has a schedule of who is fasting each day.

Interested in participating? E-mail swatearthlust@gmail.com and we can add you to the schedule!
