A day without oil

On Monday 4th October I tried to go on an oil fast. I failed. Why?

I embarked on my ‘oil free’ day at the invitation of Operation Noah, a Christian organisation working on climate change. Their newly launched ‘Carbon Exodus’ challenges the churches to recognise the impact that oil dependency has on the earth’s wellbeing and to shift towards a zero carbon future. As programme manager of Quaker Peace & Social Witness’s (QPSW) sustainability and peace programme, I thought it would be an innovative and challenging way to engage myself and others with the issues.
