participate!

whether you blog part time or you bought a crackberry just so that you can blog, this is one day of the year that you need to be aware of - Blog Action Day 2009 is almost upon us again, next Thursday, October 15th is the day and this year's topic is 'Climate Change'. this doesn't say that you can participate only if you believe in global warming - this is a forum to raise awareness about the climate change phenomenon.

note how the term being bandied about is 'climate change', not 'global warming'. some people start feeling their hackles rise as soon as the words 'global' and 'warming' are put together - all we're trying to do here is have a civilized discussion about what's going on, and what we can do about it.

best case scenario will actually be that concrete proof is found that it doesn't exist, all this is a natural cycle, and in which case we're probably all going to die anyways!

worst case scenario would be that this is all true, the damage is done, we're too late and insignificant to do much about it, and in which case we're probably all going to die anyways!

deep down we all know that the answer lies somewhere in between, and we cannot keep turning a blind eye to it. we all have our dirty little environmental secrets, and whether we believe in global warming occurring or not, we should all agree that there are ways we can conserve energy, resources, material, etc.

so go the site now, sign up and start writing.. then come back here and leave links in the comments for everyone to read what you have to say on October 15th.
