According to the Star Tribune, today is the first ever Blog Action Day, where over 15,000 bloggers are all blogging about the environment. Interesting idea. It goes back to that question though -- can blogging can be a useful form of activism, or would people do more good if they got away from the computer and volunteered in person? It says at the website http://blogactionday.org/ that they will be picking a new theme each year, and that major companies like Google and Wells Fargo are supporting it. I think you can also have your blog listed on their site if you participate.
If the environment is a theme you like, maybe you can join the movement by posting about it today.

The more people who raise an issue, the more the issue is noticed and acted on.
If people feel they want to speak out on the enviroment or any issue, they should. In America we have the right to speak freely, and organize freely. That looks like what is happening here.
What a coincidence, because when I got home I saw on the news about more corporations going green. California is the first state to do away with plastic bags. Locally, Whole Foods will now be offering eco-friendly grocery bags. I was going to blog about that.
