Carbon Fast for Lent: Tell the Pols What's Up

DAY 27 – MONDAY 23 MARCH
“Take action: tell the UK government what you are doing through the Carbon Fast and urge them to play their part by creating and implementing strong national and international laws to stop climate chaos. Take action here: www.tearfund.org/carbonfastaction.” Not in the UK? No worries; read on!

Copenhagen — which aims to be carbon-neutral by 2025 — will host an important United Nations climate change in December. Keep your eyes out for this, to encourage our own governments to get on board. And kudos to Norway and Sweden, which have already pledged to be carbon neural by 2030 and 2050, respectively.

Today’s mitzvah: If today’s Carbon Fast for Lent action doesn’t work for you because you’re not in the UK, consider signing a petition in support of the Zero Carbon Caravan in anticipation of the December conference.
