Blog Action Day, October 15th, is a day that bloggers participate by writing a post relating to the environment, donating the day’s earnings, and/or promoting Blog Action Day. According to Blog Action Day, 15,000+ 20,000+ blogs are participating. I participated by writing 11 Ways to Save Trees.
I have read some well written posts regarding the environment today. I decided I would share them with you in hopes that you will consider getting involved, not just today, but every day.
- Freelance Switch, Cyan Ta’eed wrote 29 Simple Ways to Become a More Environmentally Friendly Freelancer and wants the readers’ help to donate $500 to charity. Freelance Switch is pledging to donate $1 for every reader who leaves a comment pledging to take on one of the suggestions listed in the post (or your own). I plan to shutdown my computer every night when finished with work.
- ProBlogger, Darren Rowse wrote How Can Bloggers Be Environmentally Responsible? leaving readers with a question to answer: ‘how can we as bloggers be involved in saving the environment?’
- Larissa Meek wrote Blog Action Day: Green Design, listing some very creative ways for reusing recycled items. My favorite is the recycled glass and the grocery bags.
- Essential Keystrokes, Charlene wrote 5 R’s For A Greener World. Read the post to find out ways you can reduce, reuse, recycle, renew and respect.
- Lifehacker, Wendy Boswell wrote Easy Ways to Live Greener. Read the post and then vote for your favorite green hack! I voted for Bring Your Own Mug to Coffee Shops because those disposables can add up with the amount of people who drink coffee!
- Know More Media, Kimberlee Morrison wrote Blog Action Day: What You Can Do at Home and In the Office to Protect the Earth. She lists some of Al Gore’s tips for making your home more environmentally friendly while saving money, too.
- Dumb Little Man, Jay White wrote Items You Never Thought to Recycle. He lists things that can be recycled, leaving off the obvious things like newspapers, magazines, soda cans, etc. It is very easy to mistake recyclable items for garbage.
