Unity in diversity on Blog Action Day!
After reading Leo Babauta of ZenHabits on why bloggers WILL change the world and how we can help, I have to say, I felt motivated to do my bit and have been reading and educating myself on this issue. But, with thousands of web sites filled with information on what to do and what not to do to reduce the affects of global warming and save the environment, I feel kinda lost as far as writing something original!
So, in order to get a better perspective on what the big deal about this devastating phenomenon is, and not bombarding you with Top 50 things to do to stop Global Warming or writing another Global Warming Survival Guide, which obviously are far superior than what I could come up with, I thought of sharing some thought provoking videos I came across, made by National Geography , AndrewEdwardRoss, and elephantologist respectively!
note: this was supposed to be published at midnight, but guess my blog’s time needs to be fixed! but how?
UPDATE: (Idea copied from pelf…. See all other blog action day posts on technorati
Nice videos! My post should go live after midnight tonight. It’s always been about one hour off so when I schedule it to post I put the post time as one hour earlier than I actually want it to show up. If you are on Wordpress you just set the date/time in the Post TimeStamp section.
Unfortunately I don’t have any videos to go with it. The first video I ever inserted was on my Blog Action Day awareness post last week. :-)
hey Aruni… I know about the time stamp but when I set it to go live at midnight and later checked the dashboard, it said the post will be live in 12 hours and it was only 6:30pm so that obviously wasn’t correct! Wherever the time is set up, its set up to west coast time – I think!
thanks for commenting as always :)
ill check out your post in the morning… ive been exhausted with the floors and other stuff going on at the house and seems like its expanded a bit too much now! need to catch up on sleep ;) tc
Well, I have only 4 hours to go until midnight, so whose midnight are we talking about?
Your videos are nice :)
haha Simonne I wanted something posted by the 14th midnight EST … although, i completely forgot where you are….i’ve known you for 6 months!! how did that happen? I don’t think you know, i am an 80 yrs old man!! darn it!
because of that floor project, everything was dusty and dirty, and i never received the approval from SR so that couldn’t be done in this post ;) and I still have 10 hours till midnight so who knows, i might actually write something too… might is the keyword today ;)
I think my server (or wordpress implementation) is set to Mountain time because it always seems to be one hour off.
My Rock. Papers. Scissors. How Do We All Win? post is up now. :-)
Argh! I forgot the blog action day! Will do the post now. :p
haha Pearl
I posted my blog action yesterday !!!!
so is the floor lookin good ???
great videos …’ye’ 80 yr old man… :D
hey Kim… yeah the floor is definitely prettier than before :) may be once its all done, i’ll post a couple of pictures …..
Isn’t that something? I forget some darndest of things ;) It IS the age factor! LOL
hey Kennybuoy… you changed your avatar!!!????!!! couldn’t recognize the digital version :)
Great finds for your videos Pearl :-)
I think WordPress is actually set at Pacific Standatd Time. I’m on MST and can’t post until after 1am for a fresh date.
But I’ve never been able to get the timestamp to work for me. After the time comes to post, it just hangs somewhere in cyberspace, gone from drafts, and doesn’t appear on my front page.
So how the heck I see tons of posts from people all over the world saying Time Stamp actually works for them? I have the same problem, it is confusing and who has the time to calculate the time?
May be this calls for a post!! I didn’t look into it, but had a hunch, those darnd Californians had something to do with this!! :D

I didn’t know about this event till today, when I read Phil’s entry at Profy. I did my entry today, so I suppose I cannot call myself a Blog Action Day blogger. But then again, I was really disappointed of many entries I read about Blog Action Day.
I am proud of you, girl! You truly make a difference. You are not a fake blogger. And I am happy to be your friend. Who knows, maybe one day we meet?
Hi Kristina – thanks for the links, video is great :) I’ll check out the other link as well…. hope to see you here again!
thanks Mig :) It’d sure be fun to meet some day :) Let me know when you are around my part of the world…:)
and consider yourself blog action day blogger since your many readers read your entry and thats what matters, creating awareness!
