HUNGER STRIKE VOLUNTEERS

Climate change will result in the deaths of many of the world’s children over the coming years. Every day there are a growing number of people least able to deal with climate change who are severely affected by hunger – increasing droughts, crop losses, weather variability, unseasonal rains, flooding, soil erosion/ desertification, mounting economic costs. Recent reports put the figure of world hunger at over 1 billion.

It is imperative that all actions that can be taken by the average concerned global citizen NOW be taken in the lead up to Copenhagen to tell world leaders loud and clear that we care.

We care for our fellow man.

We care to take action.

We care how our leader’s decisions will affect those least responsible for the emissions that the developed world and the fast developing world are and have been responsible for.

Many of those that will perish from hunger in the years to come will be the result of our action or inaction NOW.

If you follow the link here and watch the ticking clock of world hunger deaths as they mount by the second, the enormity of the challenge we face and how it will accelerate with climate change is all too stark.

On average there is a death from hunger around the world every 3 seconds of every day.

Each hour 1,200 people die of hunger.

Each day 28,800 people die of hunger.

Every year 10,512,000 people die of hunger.

Our actions in the lead up to Copenhagen can show these leaders of the powerful nations that we care for those least able to cope.

From October 18^th right up to and including the Copenhagen Conference from the 7^th to the 18^th of December the Greenhouse Neutral Foundation calls on volunteers to register their names and participate in a rolling global HUNGER STRIKE. Participation in the World Hunger Strike may be done for 1, 3, or 5 day commitments. Commitments running for 3 or 5 days are consecutive. Commitments start at 12:01 a.m. and end at midnight. You can register here NOW.

Note: you can strike for the whole period you nominate to initially register for, or for as many hours/days as you wish. The longer you fast the more sponsorship funds you will have raised and the bigger personal statement in protest you will have made.

REGISTER HERE NOW

The money you raise during the time you commit to the Greenhouse Neutral Foundation’s Copenhagen Climate Change World Hunger Strike will go someway to reducing the deaths of those most vulnerable and send a powerful message to world leaders.

Together we can bring about change.

This photograph helped awaken the world about the effects of poverty in Africa shows a Sudanese child being stalked by a vulture nearby. It is quite obvious that the child was starving to death, while the vulture was patiently waiting for the toddler to die so he can have a good meal.

Nobody knows what happened to the child, who crawled his way to a United Nations food camp. Photographer Kevin Carter won a Pulitzer Prize for this shocking picture, but he eventually committed suicide three months after he took the shot.
