Carbon Fast 2009

Carry on cutting your carbon emissions throughout the year.

'Love does no harm to its neighbour' (Romans 13:10)
Climate change can mean our neighbours go hungry because of drought, or lose their homes because of floods. Faced with that reality, there are many things we can do, acting as part of the global church's response, to change the way our lives impact poor communities.

Fast and pray with Tearfund to cut your carbon use and help protect poor people from climate change.
