Raise Awareness of Climate Change on Blog Action Day 09, October 15th

Blog Action Day Blog Action Day is an annual event where thousands of bloggers around the world unite for one cause on one day to raise awareness of an issue that is threatening people around the world, and this year, the world itself. On October 15th, bloggers will take part in the largest-ever social change event on the web and reach millions of people on the issue of climate change.

Climate change was selected for this year’s Blog Action Day because it affects all people living today and also poses a dramatic threat of even more traumatic issues like famine, flooding, war, and millions of refugees. Because climate change poses such a risk to the world we live in and how our climate affects us and our livelihood, Copenhagen will be home to international climate negotiations this December.

If you would like to participate in this year’s Blog Action Day but don’t know exactly what to write about, keep in mind to write about climate change (with a link to Blog Action Day somewhere in your post) as it relates to your blog; that way you won’t risk losing any of your readers because you “went all political.” Bloggers have a very unique opportunity to raise awareness, put climate change the risks it poses to the environment and people in the minds of the people who frequent your blog and do it without risk to you and your readership.

From Blog Action Day’s website:

  • A Technology or Business blog might write about emerging clean tech and how innovative companies might be able to help address the problem of climate change.
  • A Health or Lifestyle blog might write about how climate change will affect our children’s health and daily living.
  • A Nonprofit or Political blog might write about how climate change is deeply connected to many other issues-such as poverty and conflict.
  • A Design blog might write about new trends in eco-friendly or sustainable design.
  • A Travel blog might write about the places you want to see now before climate change makes them difficult to access or, well, under the sea.

Regardless of the topic of your blog, you have the opportunity to write about climate change and how it would impact your life and the lives of your readers.

Register for Blog Action Day and spread the word through Twitter, Facebook and badges you can place on your blog. You can also take action against climate change in a variety of different ways, Blog Action Day’s website is compiling a list of the most interesting and powerful ways to get involved in the climate change movement.

    Hello from Russia!

  • John says:

    it seems to be great information, Recycle your toylet paper, don’t eat meet, shower only every other day, and pick your nose instead of using Kleenex.I appreciate your work & hope for some more informative posts.

  • Though this is an interesting idea and a great post to go along with it, I have one reserve. The global temperature has stopped increasing. It has over the past year actually began dropping. I have a sorry for mr. Al Gore but humanity has a psychological problem in which every generation from the beginning of time has thought it was going to be the last and we’ve survived this long thus far.

  • Raisins says:

    I think the information presented will be useful to many people a lot. I appreciate your work & hope for some more good posts.

  • I believe climate change is a natural part of the sun and that it is apart of a solar cycle and is scientifically proven and is in NASA Data.

    Also reducing carbon and cutting trees are both bad ideas. Cutting carbon will mean less oxygen because it is apart of our ecosystem and trees convert the carbon into oxygen.

    Al Gore is a very convincing Rich liar to turn America into a third world country. What will we do to effectively cut carbon, kill ourselves???
