Blog Action Day 2009 | Climate Change

As an official blog partner, I pledge to support Blog Action Day by encouraging bloggers around the world to register their support online and join in!

Come the 15th of October, bloggers worldwide will join in blogging about climate change in one of the largest internet events staged for social change: Blog Action Day.

The aim of this global demonstration is to raise awareness and encourage dialogue concerning important subjects which face our planet.

Blog Action Day was founded by Collis & Cyan Ta'eed in 2007 with the support of their team at Envato. On that first occasion, founders encouraged more than 20.000 bloggers to devote a day to blogging about environmental issues. The next year, in 2008, they highlighted poverty issues with bloggers sharing their personal perspectives and ideas for solutions.

This year, with climate change is the subject, it presents a great opportunity to build on all the discussions and online campaigns that are being organized in advance of the COP15 United Nations meeting in Denmark this December.

Anyone can participate in Blog Action Day, be it on blogs, online journals or online magazines. There are no limits to how many posts one can write nor to the content of it, as long as climate change is the subject.

Once you've registered it's a pretty simple process! All you need to do is put up a post on October 15th and link to www.blogactionday.org somewhere in your post.
