Global Day of Action (Oct. 24)

Last week I dropped in, along with bloggers in 155 countries across six continents, for Blog Action Day ’09: Climate Change.  CNN covered the story and the organizers report that 13,484 blogs reached 18,076,782 readers.

A big part of the reason for this effort was to further enlighten folks around the world about this coming Saturday’s Global Day of Action organized by 350.org.  There are thousands of activities, nearly everywhere.

Be there.
