Blog Action Day

This will be a short post to make a request and indicate a special post that will be delivered on October 15, 2009.

I don’t normally focus or participate in many events but climate change is a major concern. If it isn’t, it should be. I am not a doomsayer but it is threatening all humanity and will induce famine, drought, flooding and inevitable power struggles.

What’s Blog Action Day?

On October 15, 2009 change.org is taking action with their third annual Blog Action Day event this year raising awareness on Climate Change. Last year’s theme was poverty and in 2007 they covered the Environment. I will be participating and writing a post on Thursday, October 15, 2009 to address my thoughts and raise awareness.

In their words:

Blog Action Day is an annual event that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day on their own blogs with the aim of sparking discussion around an issue of global importance. Blog Action Day 2009 will be the largest-ever social change event on the web. One day. One issue. Thousands of voices.

There are three things you could do:

  1. Consider Participating and write your own post
  2. Share this with as many people as possible
  3. Come and read my post on October 15th

You may think that climate change is not relevant to your blog but climate change is about communities and your blog is also a community that shares the world. Google, Mashable, Daily Blog tips and various socially conscious organizations will be taking part.

So, if you are into tech, you could write about the impact of green technology. Lifestyle blogs could talk about green destinations or disappearing wonders. There are many ideas and we are all connected. Internet Marketers could write about the power of networking.

A special thanks for taking the time to share. Please spread the word with Twitter or your social media of choice.
