These people had exactly the right idea. This was Oct. 21. What a beautiful, perfect day.

I’m getting a little jealous just looking at it

Monday was ‘Blog Action Day’. If you missed it, bloggers around the world agreed to blog about the environment on the 15th of October. About 20,000 blogs participated according to the Blog Action Day site. I participated too by posting a special video blog.

I had a lot of fun checking out what some of the other 20,000-ish bloggers had to say. The posts ranged from simple tips to live greener to philosophical statements. As you can imagine with that many blogs and a broad topic like ‘the environment’; there were a lot great things to read and think about. Google “blog action day” and you’ll see.

I’m not the only Worcester-based blogger that got into it. Wormtown Taxi and Topher the Tech Guy also posted their thoughts. If you are a Worcester blogger and I didn’t find your entry yet, send me a link.

Wormtown Taxi had a well-done post about how we should focus on reducing the amount of burning we do to keep our stuff running. He explains it much better than I can so go read it. Long story short - we need to stop fighting over what we are burning and work on ways to stop burning stuff entirely. He also shared support for our vlog here. Thank you WT! That was really nice of you.

Topher the Tech Guy had some great tips to help everyone live a little greener and in the case of his “rake” tip - even be a little healthier in the process. Then he posted a video that made me laugh a lot: watch it if you’d like to laugh too. Topher also sent me some nice comments and support - also much appreciated, Thank you Topher.

As an internet geek this whole project has been really cool to watch and be part of. I can’t believe how many blogs signed up, many of which posted more than once on the topic. Big corporate blogs participated along with the rest of us “little people” and the event got a lot of coverage in the media. Go to the Blog Action Day site to see their wrap up. You can also sign up to be notified when the next world-wide blog action day event is approaching.

Sarah wanted everyone to know that she hopes we all stop polluting everything before the world is too messed up to fix. This is our “vlog” for Blog Action Day.

Blog Action Day is on October 15 and we’re getting ready for it.

If you’d like to know more about this worldwide online event, go to the site. They’ve also got a “resources” page set up to help bloggers prepare their posts.

It’s Blog Day! And also the Friday before a long weekend - wow! So much excitement and it’s only 6AM!

OK, here’s the serious business

Papamoka Straight Talk
This guy is a political blogger out of Worcester Mass. I usually don’t read political blogs so this was definately out of my “usual”. I’ll be watching this one. Interesting.

2 Witches Blog
This is a blog by 2 women who are “witches” - like wicca, not pointy hats and stuff. It’s a nice picture of what their lives are like.

Decksitter’s Photo Blog
Photos of life in New Mexico. I didn’t know they had so much green there. I guess I always imagined it was like where I grew up (Mojave, CA). Ya know, kinda desert-ish.

Sporty Gals
This one is by women, about women in sports - Go ladies! I like to see women’s sports being promoted so this was cool to find

A Little Red Hen
Breaking the “youth-culture” stereotype of bloggers - this lady is an “over 60″ (her words) bloggger, artist and activist in New York. It’s a great read.

Those are my “finds” -can’t wait to see what everyone else found!
