Blog Action Day: Laneo’s contribution - 15 Oct 2007

Today is “Blog Action Day”, an international initiative of bloggers with the aim of uniting thousands of blogging voices, talking about one issue for one day – the environment. To raise awareness major blogs have signed up to participate, including Lifehacker, Dumb Little Man, Lifehack.org, Get Rich Slowly, Web Worker Daily, GigaOm, The Simple Dollar, Zen Habits, Freelance Switch, LifeClever, Unclutterer, Pronet Advertising, Wise Bread and many more.


“For just one day, we’d like to unite as many of the millions of bloggers around the world and speak about one issue – the environment,” said Collis Ta’eed, an Australian blogger from FreelanceSwitch.com, and a cofounder of Blog Action Day. “We want to display the potential and the power of the blogging community, which is a disparate community but one with an amazing size, breadth and diversity. By bringing everyone together for one day, we can see just how much can be achieved, and how much we can be heard.”


We at Laneo think that this initiative is very powerful and perfectly illustrates the positive leverage the internet can have on important global issues. As we have always talked about environmental issues in each post, what I’d like to underline today is simply – the power of uniting people from around the world on urgent issues such as saving the planet. We’re all extremely busy people and “free time” is becoming a very sought after luxury, so even a small gesture, such as this blog post, when added to thousands of others can instantly become, the “tipping point” (which is a great read by the way). If you do read this post, please spread the word asking people to participate in whatever manner they choose and if you have a blog, join the Blog Action Day and do a short post – it might make a big difference.
