Through reading ProBlogger I stumbled upon a new really innovative idea for the online community to raise awareness. This is something I will be definitely be involved in and hope others who read this and have their own blog will follow too. What the concept is, is a Blog Action Day in which bloggers from around the globe write on a topic to better our world. The first topic for October 15th is the Environment and the Blog Action Day website calls on a mass amount of bloggers from all over the world to write about the environment in their own right, how they view it.

There has been a media frenzy lately on the blogosphere about how it is comprised of amateurs. This may be true to a certain extent but amateur does not mean idiot. Blog writers are becoming the new source of information and readers are responsible to check the source just like with a periodical or television news network. Now this is an out of the ordinary idea to get the amateurs and the professionals, the elite and common man all talking at once about the problems this world faces. It could have a major impact. Check out more and see for yourself if you want to get your blog involved at blogactionday.org.
