350.org is calling on people in the developed world to fast for 24 hours on Thursday, December 17 as part of the movement calling for strong climate action by world leaders. Their website asks us in the developing world to stand with those are already suffering from climate change:
“We will fast voluntarily, for one day on Thursday, in solidarity with the millions who have and could lose their lives to preventable and involuntary hunger, disease and conflict resulting from climate change.
We call on world leaders for a real climate deal now–a deal grounded in science and strong enough to get us back to 350.

350.org is also asking people to call their leaders to tell them the world needs a science-based treaty to get emissions in our atmosphere at 350 ppm or below – click here to find out how to do this.
