This Thursday, they will be joined people across the world for a 24 hour fast in solidarity. We are past the time of procrastination! We need to act to solve the climate crisis now! A crew of San Francisco Climate Justice Fast solidarity fasters will be wandering the city asking city goers to reflect upon “What will you do to solve the climate crisis allowing future generations and affected nations to survive?” Find out WHERE IN THE CITY IS the Climate Justice Fast by following ecoTINAberry on Twitter. If you would like to join our search for Climate Justice, meet us at the 16th and Mission Bart Station at noon wearing black. Look for the Climate Justice Fast face logo banner!As the climate talks in Copenhagen reach their climax, the time has come to add a new element to the political pressure and intellectual arguments: Moral force. Leaders arriving in Copenhagen have heard all the debates before. They now face a decision about whether to do what is simply morally right. Thousands of young people in Copenhagen will be fasting - abstaining from food and drinking only water - on Thursday--inspired by three who have fasted (under appropriate medical supervision) for 42 days. By joining the fast, and communicating its message to politicians and our communities, we can send a signal that we as humanity are united across borders, and ready for change - rising above short-sighted interests for a fair and just world for all. Join us for a Global Day of Fasting (not eating) and Reflection on Solving the Climate Crisis! 2009-12-16T19:54:47+00:00 http://www.climatejusticefast.com/blog/entry/tinas-vlog-day-25-locking-down-the-bank-of-america/ http://www.climatejusticefast.com/blog/entry/tinas-vlog-day-25-locking-down-the-bank-of-america/#When:02:11:07Z Yesterday, was the 10th anniversary of the WTO protests in Seattle. The Mobilization for Climate Justice had nine actions across the United States, the largest action taking place in San Francisco, CA. This vlog is of me inside one of the 6 rotating doors at the old Bank of America world headquarters in downtown San Francisco, CA. Follow me (ecoTINAberry) on TwitterI don't want to look back 20 years from now and say I let the world stay on its course for climate disaster! I am fasting to deepen my commitment to the cause for climate justice. I am also fasting in hopes of inspiring new faces to join the movement. There is no time to waste! Copenhagen is now 6 days away! We, the people of the world, can't allow companies like Bank of America to continue funding desturctive practicies, encouraging dirty solutions and blocking climate policy. Now is the time to stand up for your life! Check out more about the Bank of America protests! 2009-12-02T02:11:07+00:00 http://www.climatejusticefast.com/blog/entry/tinas-vlog-day-21-give-thanks/ http://www.climatejusticefast.com/blog/entry/tinas-vlog-day-21-give-thanks/#When:20:14:54Z Day 21: Thanksgiving in San Francisco. The City is so empty! Follow me ecoTinaberry on Twitter!We have a lot to be thankful for as the ruling speicies on planet Earth. However, we need to respect the gifts of the Earth and use our resources more wisely.   I am taking part in this hunger strike because I believe we can't wait any longer to address climate change.   We need to take the personal responsibility to live in a way that respects the resources of our planet for all living creatures and future generations. We need to raise our voices for our world leaders to work towards a sustianable solution. There will be no quick fix, but a collection of solutions we must utilize. We need to think beyond our breif stay on this planet, and think about the future of mankind.   Will we willing let ourselves die out? 2009-11-29T20:14:54+00:00 http://www.climatejusticefast.com/blog/entry/tinas-blog-day-14/ http://www.climatejusticefast.com/blog/entry/tinas-blog-day-14/#When:19:53:03Z Here's a Twitter Video from Thursday, Day 14! Follow me on Twitter WE NEED TO END OUR USE OF COAL FOR ENERGY! The Drag Line 14 were a group of activists that shut down the operations at a Massey Energy mountaintop removal site for a day. Coal is the dirtiest energy source we use today. Mountaintop removal mining is the most destructive type of coal mining. It literally is blowing up the top's of the Appalachian Mountains in the United States. Please support the direct action efforts of these activists and others. 2009-11-22T19:53:03+00:00 http://www.climatejusticefast.com/blog/entry/tinas-day-11/ http://www.climatejusticefast.com/blog/entry/tinas-day-11/#When:05:07:26Z This is my first blog on the site! Also, here are some of my vlogs you can check out: Day 6: Day 7: Day 11:Thank you to all our supporters & others reading this message! So this is my first day blogging on our site. Sorry for not being around last week, but expect to see updates from now on! Today is my 11th day participating in the Climate Justice Fast. I posted a vlog to youtube about my weekend at the Green Festival in San Francisco, CA. I volunteered this weekend at the Green Festival in San Francisco, where 125 speakers and 400 green vendors were showcased! Tina's Vlog:Day 11 At work today one of my co-workers at Greenpeace USA, told me how impressed he is with our fast for Climate Justice! That was great to hear. Another one of the interns even commented that I seem more full of life than she is on a full stomache! I thought that was harlarious! As difficult as to fast on mostly water, I'm happy to say it lessened my passion or joy for all life has to offer! Something that's a bit late is my vlog from Veterans Day! Tina's vlog: Day 6 Veterans Day! A couple of my friends Robin, Pete, and Davey from Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) talk a bit about themselves as well as why everyone needs to join in the Climate Justice movement to better our future! That's all I have for now! Check out my up coming videos & get involved however you can to create a world with Climate Justice for all! Peace & Love, Tina 2009-11-17T05:07:26+00:00
