I helped a friend put a bit of HTML code on her blog.  Turned out it was a link to a site called www.BlogActionDay.org.  So, of course, I stopped to read some.

It seems some bloggers got the idea of getting bloggers from around the globe to unite for one day to blog about one topic.  The day is October 15, 2007.  The topic is the environment.

Then, my analytical brain kicked in and I read up on the organizers and the other sites that are participating.  I’ve never heard of most of them.  For all I know they’re all slightly batty (no offense to BlogActionDay).

But, the idea grabbed me, and I decided it didn’t really matter.  What a concept.  Getting people to bring one issue to the top of a lot of people’s mind for one day.  What if we could actually make a difference?

Will we stop global warming in its tracks?  I doubt it.  But, the power of thousands of voices sharing ideas about the environment, each in their own way, without any grand political agenda…  it just might be a good thing.  If nothing else, I know it will make me feel like I’ve had a chance to contribute to something greater than myself.  And, I like that feeling.

So, if you have a blog, join in.  What if we could make a difference . . . .
