GOT Fasting? Yes, they are!
GOT MILK? Nope, got fasting. At least that's what alumni of the Greenpeace Organizing term are doing in solidarity with CJF. Below are some responses from a few participants on how their day of not eating has been.
My Participation in CJF: How Justified Is It?
Below is a section from an entry of a blog I write for my university.
I thought I could handle not eating for at least 24 hours, and I was right. What I can’t handle is deeply thinking about the fact that my friends who are fasting long-term are putting their lives on the line for the outcome of this conference, for a solution from the world to stop climate change. My friends could DIE for this. How does one handle such an intense situation?

I didn’t go for a run today. I love running. It’s how I start my days. But today will be a bit different from my normal days, because I won’t be eating at all. I’m fasting in solidarity with the Climate Justice Fast. Putting on the black t-shirt that declares this, I pump myself up to face the day with a bit of discomfort.
