I ran across Blog Action Day over the weekend and immediately sent an email to all the staff here at Randomn3ss to get their input as to what we can do to help contribute. We are working out the logistics still, but we collectively will be taking part of this event in October.

An international initiative of bloggers known as “Blog Action Day” launched today, with the aim of uniting thousands of blogging voices, talking about one issue for one day. This year on Blog Action Day, which is slated for Oct. 15, 2007, bloggers will be discussing the environment. 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.”

If you own a blog, write for one, are on any of the social networking sites like MySpace or FaceBook, please look into this event. Taking ten minutes out of your day to write about the environment and / or putting up a banner on your site can drastically help raise awareness.
