It will be very interesting to see what kind of an impact will be made from thousands of bloggers all writing about the environment on the same day.

If you read my previous blog on Global Warming, you know that I am very passionate about energy conservation. Not because I share the same political views surrounding global warming, but because I think Americans are very wasteful with their energy. Whether it is keeping all of your electronics plugged in around the clock or leaving the lights on when you are not even at home, it is all very wasteful.

Remembering to unplug your phone chargers or laptops when not in use, can not only save you some money on your electric bill, but also help the environment. Especially turning off your heating and air conditioner when you are not home. According to wikipedia, space conditioning accounts for 44% of your household energy consumption. So in the summer, try using more fans and not blasting your AC at all hours of the day. A little conservation can go a long way if we all make positive changes together.

Next Monday, October 15, 2007, I will be participating in Blog Action Day. It is a day for all bloggers to give their opinions about one topic, the environment. Currently, there are over 8,000 participating blogs. All you have to do is write one post, how easy is that? So if you blog, I highly suggest joining the effort. You don’t have to agree with someone else’s opinion, just share your own. Check out their website for more information or to sign up your blog.

It will be interesting to see the impact so many blogs can have from discussing one topic in a single day.

This video has a great explanation:
