Courtney Stowman
Courtney plans to fast for 2.5 days a week until the end of COP 15 in Copenhagen.
"Well, I'm 21 years old and extremely passionate about climate change and many other environmental concerns. I work as a campus coordinator for Greenpeace's Student Network. My favorite moments in life are those when I see someone realize that they too can do something. It's wonderful, it's as if they instantly start to glow and excitement just takes over thier body. It live for that. If I can make someone feel like that everyday of my life, it would be complete. Thats one main reason why I love to organize, not only for climate justice but to help inspire people to take action on what they believe in. I have fasted before as a part of a raw food lifestyle, so when I heard of the Climate Justice Fast from another student organizer with Greenpeace I jumped all over it. I think it's a wonderful way to clean the world of toxins, both in our bodies and in our minds."
