WHAT IS CARBON FASTING? 

Fasting is giving up food to become more aware of our hunger for God. It can also be an act of protest, mourning, or lament over what's broken in God's creation. 

Carbon fasting is giving up unsustainable consumption practices, to reduce our carbon footprint—and in doing so, enabling people and planet to flourish.
