Register Now for Fastathon 2007
"Wake Up" to Some Inconvenient Truths at Fastathon 2007 where we will be fasting and learning about the life support systems on spaceship earth and how we can play our part in making sure the ship will support human life in the long term. On spaceship earth there are no emergency exits or escape pods - so we have to maintain the earth's ecosystems.
Fastathon is
May 25 - 27 at the Ziontario Campgrounds near Priceville, Ontario.
