Carbon Fast 2010: 17 February to 3 April 2010

To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8) What does the Lord require of you?

Climate change is hitting the world's poorest people now. They've done the least to cause climate change, but feel the heat the most. Increased floods, droughts and storms are devastating lives as food, homes and livelihoods are washed away.

It's difficult to see how our energy-hungry lifestyles cause suffering for people around the world we may never meet, but the Lord invites us to walk humbly. Join us to act justly in the face of climate change: fast from carbon, pray and cry out for climate justice.
