The Butterfly Effect and the Environment

Bloggers Unite - Blog Action Day
There were some really neat posts made around the net about the environment thanks to Blog Action Day yesterday, and so for the rest of the week I’d llike to post at least one Blog Action Day post per day.

The first one is written by Brian Clark at Copy Blogger, he argues that the butterfly effect can save the environment: a lot of people doing small local things can literally make a world of difference.

The corollary of the Butterfly Effect is that tiny changes you make do in fact make a difference. And when those tiny changes are aggregated among millions of people, we can truly make a real difference in how much nature we save for our children, grandchildren, and beyond.

We might even be saving them.

It doesn’t need to be a sacrifice. Why not make changes that simply save you money?

Indeed, Brian provides a list of money-saving things that you can do to help save the planet.

Designers Can Help the Environment Too!

Bloggers Unite - Blog Action Day There’s a great list of 101 things a designer can do to save the Earth, and it seems appropriate to blog even more about the environment on Blog Action Day.

Here’s a sampling from the list:

85. REPLACE THE CARPET WITH INTERFACEFLOR
70. TELL YOUR PRINTER ABOUT PNEAC
19. SPEC CORN-DERIVATIVE SHOPPING BAGS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC

Today is Blog Action Day!

Bloggers Unite - Blog Action Day Today, thousands of bloggers are writing on their blogs how people can make this world better. Blog Action Day is all about bloggers blogging about the environment to raise awareness and engender more action.

OneWorld Creates Social Networking Site

oneclimate.netOneClimate.net is now the home of a social networking site that is focused on, you guessed it, the climate. OneWorld Network is a great source for news from around the world and I’m sure that this new social networking attempt for them will work out just as good as their news has.

I encourage you all to signup!

What the OneWorld UK team has done is to create innovative spaces and useful tools to enable you to communicate your experiences, insights, questions and answers about climate change. We only build the platforms: the content – almost all of it – is yours.

But we couldn’t have built the platforms without the generosity of the many people who believed in the importance of the cause.

Lights Out for Climate Change

Sydney turned of their lights earlier this year to raise awareness about climate change and now it appears that the idea is spreading. San Francisco will be powering down for an hour in the near future.

For one hour, on October 20, San Francisco will experience a partial blackout in an effort to raise awareness of climate change and to promote long-lasting energy saving.

Remember that you can save the planet everyday by conserving energy!
