Today is Blog Action Day, an effort to create awareness and solutions to climate change around the world. Over 5000 bloggers from 126 countries are participating in this event!
Climate change impacts nearly all aspects of our lives, from business and technology to food, transportation and travel. It's a large issue, but we all can be involved and make a difference. A great way to start change is to find out your "carbon footprint" by using a carbon calculator that offers a ballpark figure of a person's, business's or household's "carbon footprint" — that is, all the greenhouse gases emitted either directly or on one's behalf. The Nature Conservancy offers a good calculator and tips on how to lower your footprint.
After you've calculated your footprint you can find ways to reduce your number and take action. Another worldwide event on October 24th is the International Day of Climate Action where you can take part at events around the world!
