Today is Blog Action Day ’09! It’s a world-wide event that aims to get as many bloggers as possible to focus on one topic to raise awareness. This year’s topic is Climate Change.
I’m sure that most nonprofits are affected either directly or indirectly by climate change. Environmental groups are probably the first ones to see and feel the impact, and raise the red flag. When summers get hotter and winters get colder, people in need line up in record numbers for assistance from a variety of sources. When there’s too much or too little rain, it impacts our food source, which can increase demand at food pantries.
So what can we do? We can talk about it. We can buy products and services from environmentally-friendly companies. And we can take care of our own little corner of the world. Most of all, we just need to care. That alone will help move us in the right direction for making a difference.
