Blog Action Day 2009 will be upon us later this week — Thursday, Oct. 15, to be precise — and the organization behind the annual event (Change.org) wants bloggers everywhere to post something on the topic of climate change.
I doubt I’ll post anything on that date, because I’ll be contributing to climate change in my own way, by driving 190 miles, round trip, to participate in a social media summit with Brad J. Ward, Michael Stoner, Liz Allen and some other good folks. But at least I’ll be driving in a hybrid, so I’ll be using only half as much fossil fuel for that trip than I would were I still driving my previous vehicle, which was powered 100 percent by gasoline and internal combustion. (As a fellow hybrid driver once said, “I used to emit smog. Now I emit smug.” Now I’m in that club.)
But, I do plan to post something — either right before Blog Action Day (if I get my act together) or immediately afterward.
Are any of you other higher ed bloggers planning to post something about global warming on Blog Action Day? Let me know.

Yep, I’m putting something up. I appreciate the heads-up! Take care,
