"Blog Action Day '09: Climate Change"

Every day is action day on climate change for this blog, but the good folks at Change.org and The Alliance for Climate Protection are sponsoring an international event today, Blog Action Day, that hopes to unite the blogosphere to discuss, promote and move folks to action to help avert climate catastrophe.  (Clean and renewable energy, sane consumption patterns, vastly improved public and environmental health, and sustainable development, among other “co-benefits,” all come along – no extra charge – with action on climate change.)

You can find here a list of targeted actions to take.  If none of these work for you, go to any number of Climate Change Resources I’ve got listed at the blog to see how to put your shoulder to the wheel.  If you do nothing else, power up your knowledge here at Climate Change, or at any of the sites I’ve got listed, or scores of others.

Beyond today, 350.org is building momentum for its October 24th Global Day of Action.  See this video – and get moving.  Your planet needs your TLC.
