Thousands Of Bloggers Unite To Save Planet - UN


Thousands of bloggers unite to issue call to save planet - UN

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.
