Some ideas on how participants can take further action:
- Write a letter to the editor about the fast
- Organize a special meat-free feast in your home, workplace or community to raise awareness
- Start conversations with family, friends and co-workers
- Eat local, organic food
- Shop at your local farmer’s market or join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
- Commit to eating less or no meat beyond the duration of the fast
- Start a local group to organize around this issue in your community
- Join or support other groups already working on this issue
- Research and advocate for more sustainable agricultural methods, like methane-digester technology, more efficient water systems, etc.
