- 15 October 2007 –
Thousands of online voices worldwide will join
forces to push for environmental protection to mark the United Nations-backed
first-ever Blog Action Day.
More
than 12 million readers have viewed the 15,000 blogs – ranging from those
promoting gardening such as “gardenrant.com” to sites providing tips for
those interested in web businesses such as “entrepreneurs-journey.com” –
participating in the event, supported by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
By
uniting to raise awareness of environmental issues, the global blogging
community hopes to reach millions of people and spur debate, the Nairobi-based
agency said in a news release.
Topics
touched upon by bloggers include the announcement of the Nobel peace prize being
awarded to Al Gore and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
the safety of household cleaning products, and what people can do to contribute
to the effort to reversing climate change.
