As someone who blogs about a specific environmental issue — global warming — every day, I'm very encouraged by the great support my fellow bloggers are giving to Blog Action Day.

As they say:

What would happen if every blog published posts discussing the same issue, on the same day?
One issue. One day. Thousands of voices.

Well the day has been designated as next Monday, October 15th, and the single topic is the environment. So far, 10,311 blogs and websites have taken the pledge. Their cumulative audience:  over 8,290,564 readers!

Collis Ta'eed, an Australian blogger from FreelanceSwitch.com, and a cofounder of Blog Action Day had this to say in the launch press release:

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. 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.

Kudos to Collis and his colleagues as well as all the bloggers rallying around next Monday's call to action.
