Blog Action Day "one of largest social action events ever held on the web"
Organizers of Blog Action Day are pleased indeed, calling it “one of largest social action events ever held on the web.”
32,000 posts, including three world leaders: UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who got the very first UK post in just as the clock turned midnight–and staffers from President Obama and the ruling party of Spain.
What’s fascinating to me is that organizer Robin Beck thinks 99% of the participating blogs have never written about climate change. I suspect that figure is high. I know that I cover climate change frequently in this space, although it’s certainly not the main focus.
Anyway, a rip-roaring success and hats off to the organizers. I’m glad to have participated. Now the real question is…while those 32,000 bloggers an their hundreds of thousands of readers put some actions into place in their daily lives?
