Wednesday 4th March

Very busy day so I failed to get lunch today. I did have a good breakfast at a networking meeting and some biscuits and a banana at about 5, but I think I can claim last week’s action to skip a meal and give the money to a charity working overseas.

This week’s actions are looking difficult. Fund-raising tea break isn’t really practical - I can’t see Brenda paying for tea! Buy a coffee - in Little Hampden? Perhaps I should get out more.

I'm with you -I can't actually do some of this week's ideas -but I am beginning to get the hang of the mindset -gratuitous kindness. Feels good!

A week has passed and today I'm challenged to 'take action and act justly'
As the poorest are hit hardest by climate change despite having contributed the least to the problem.I've prayed for poor communities who are impacted the most by climate change.

The 'Act justly' task was to write to Ed Miliband, the head of the government department responsible for energy and climate change, to call for a just global deal on climate change.

A template letter was provided by Tearfund and was really easy to fill in - follow link on the Carbon Fast action list.

The charity I work for have used this procedure a lot for campaigning for safer roads and it really does work - the MP gets heartily sick of a full inbox and mailbag and has been known to call and say "Great idea, can you now stop - I'm here and I'm listening" With the big summit in Copenhagen at the end of the year, hopefully Mr Miliband will go armed knowing how we all feel....?
