Thank you for signing up to my promise to take 3 campaign actions in a year. It has been great to hear about your campaigning in 2007 and I hope you manage to continue it this year! I took action for CAFOD’s Unearth Justice and Make Aid Work campaigns in 2007 and am looking forward to continuing campaigning this year. If you’ve also taken actions for these campaigns then why not find out more on CAFOD’s website - www.cafod.org.uk/campaigning - where you can also sign up to receive campaign updates. I found out today that someone else has started a promise to take 3 campaign actions in 2008 so I signed up. Perhaps you’d like to sign it too: http://promise.livesimply.org.uk/campaigns. Best wishes, Helen http://promise.livesimply.org.uk/campaign#comment_13307 Hi, I am one of the 37 who signed up for this promise. Sorry you did not get as many as you wanted, but I will keep going and do my bit for Cafod's campaigns, David http://promise.livesimply.org.uk/campaign#comment_3708 Hello, I hope you are all well and coping with the rain! I just thought I would write to let you know that there is currently a campaigns action to ask Argos and Goldsmiths to sign up to the Golden Rules. Why not email the jewellers as part of your campaigns promise to live simply? You just need to sign your name in the online email: www.cafod.org.uk/latestaction. Find out more about the Unearth Justice campaign: www.cafod.org.uk/unearthjustice. Do let me know if you have any questions - hcross@cafod.org.uk. http://promise.livesimply.org.uk/campaign#comment_349 Hello! Thanks for signing up to my promise to take 3 campaigns actions in a year. It has been great to receive messages from some of you over the past few weeks and hearing how you're getting involved, keep sending your messages to me. Campaign action 1: There are only 9 days to go to sign the online pledge for clean gold www.cafod.org.uk/goldpledge. If you haven't done so already please get your friends and family to join the Livesimply promise and show their support by the 1st April so we can hand in 50,000 signatures in April. Campaign action 2: For your second campaign action of 2007 you can email Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, to tell her to stop unfair trade deals: www.cafod.org.uk/mailmerkel. Keep an eye out for the third action of the year very shortly. Best wishes, Helen http://promise.livesimply.org.uk/campaign#comment_14 I campaign against poverty. Multiply that by hundreds of thousands, millions - wealthy governments listen. And things change, maybe very little, but they change. I fly around the world. That flight is warming up the planet by a tiny tiny tiny little bit. Now multiply that by millions - it creates a change in climate that has a terrible impact on all of us, but especially people who are poor. I buy cheap clothes. As do many people in Europe. More of us - more of the factories that treat workers in developing countries in a way that we would never allow here. My actions - actions of one small individual - can bring about change. Good and bad. So I am going to use this power to try to change the world. Campaign, recycle, cycle.....More of us do it.... You see where I am going with this? I'll start here by signing up to this promise. What about you?
