I just signed up with the “Fernstudium-Rundschau” . It’s great that also non-English-blogs can participate (mine is german).

I signed up for this and I hope it works though I have a feeling its just going to be a bunch of buzz with no action taking place but Id love to be proven wrong.

Great, sounds good. It will be great to be able to write about a different topic for a day. I signed up.

This is cool, especially because one of my blogs is all about environment stuff (family footprint). I will be participating!

Sorry, but this is a complete cop-out. I support the sentiment, but the action is all wrong. A load of bloggers sitting in front of their computers is the laziest possible way to achieve any environmental goal.

Why not devote some time to going out to real people and starting a discussion about environmental issues? Speak to your employer and make suggestions for how to reduce your environmental impact. Get rid of that ginormous car you don’t need.

But inconsequential blather across the web? No.Doesn’t work for me. The web’s still too impersonal and it’s too easy to make the right sounds but actually do nothing about it. Who’s going to check up you anyway?

I hope the word gets out a little bit more. Darren, I would like to request that you put up an ad on your sidebar for this. Your blog is visited by a lot of other bloggers and is the perfect place to get the word out for the next month besides through a post. Hope you read this post and do it. Maybe someone could 2nd my idea!

I think blogging is great. I’ve done it for a couple of years and I’ll probably sign up for this day if I am still in the country. I do however think that bloggers do need to make something happen in the real world. Do something.

Blogging is well and good, and believe me you can raise awareness through blogging, but just as photography provokes emotion but not reaction, blogging may be doing the same thing. I hope to see a lot of encouragement toward actual activism in the blog posts.

Signed on Domestik Goddess this morning. Blog Action Day is a genius idea with no discernible ‘down side’ — and it’s rather cool when you think that every blogger who participates is helping to make a bit of blogging history!
