Dear fellow bloggers,
I hope you are ready, tomorrow is Blog Action Day!

Lots of blogs are taking part in Blog Action Day 2009: Climate Change, including a few world-famous blogs like Mashable, the official Google blog, TMZ, Gadling, dozens of supporting organizations and thousands of others.

A quick look at the Google Blog Search gives us an interesting sample list:

1. The government of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, which serves about 20 million people
2. Cherie Bender, a award-winning artist originally from Scotland
3. The DeSmogBlog Project, which has been voted Canada’s “Best Group Blog”
4. Woman Tribune, a community especially for women
5. The American School of Tegucigalpa, Honduras
6. Social Media Vision by Justin Williams
7. Going Crazy In America! – See the pledge below, it’s wonderful
8. World Vision – Love these guys!
9. Water Words That Work – A blog about water and how we can improve the environment by changing the way people think

Think about it, talk about it. The first step towards making people care is to inform them. And we, climate change bloggers, have live up to this task. Wouldn't it be awesome to see 90 posts from us, 90 bloggers, tomorrow?

If you need a place for inspiration take a look at the excellent BAD post: "8 Great Climate Change Resources for Your Blog Action Day Post", I found especially interesting the Pew Center for Global Climate Change’s “Facts and Figures” website, just the facts, pure and simple, and The Top 100 Effects of Global Warming, which gives also a funny look at the serious topic.

Oh, yes, also: get creative! Don't feel like you have to fill in this little box of advices, use the medium that suits you the best.

See you tomorrow!
