February 2026 – UU Conscious Consumers Monthly Challenge

February Fast for Earth 40-day Challenge

The Fast for Earth Challenge is a growing UU Princeton tradition that invites us to begin the new year by turning reflection into action. Rooted in Unitarian Universalist values of interdependence and care for all life, this 40-day, planet-friendly fast invites each of us to choose one intentional practice—and live into it together.

February 18 through April 2: Participants select an environmental fast—such as reducing plastic waste by opting for non-plastic packaging, cutting back on consumption of red meat, pausing online shopping, cooking more meals at home, or creating a practice of their own— and commit to it for the season, not perfectly, but intentionally.

To join just make a commitment in your heart and try to follow through— but you can also sign the Fast for Earth book in the lobby after Sunday services and pick up a participation sticker or string as a reminder of your commitment.

Learn more about the Fast for Earth Challenge on the uuprinceton.org homepage and join others this season in discovering how small, shared commitments can lead to meaningful change.
