October 15th has been chosen as the date for Blog Action Day, a hopefully global and inspiring event in which thousands of bloggers will come together to raise awareness of one issue.

This year the subject is The Environment, a more important subject than anything else I can think of, it affects ours and our children’s health and well being and needs to be put higher on the agenda.

As the video so rightly points out, we could change the conversation, and make the environment a bigger talking point around the world..

If enough bloggers and website owners took the time to sign up on the site and write one post about the environment on one day, surely the message will get through to the politicians who seem keen to push the subject under the rug.

To sign up and take part in this important and potentially opinion changing day, go to blogactionday.org and sign up to participate. I’ll be doing so, and I urge you to as well.
