The theme for this year’s Blog Action Day is the Environment.

It’s October 15th and people all over the world are blogging about the Environment. It’s something that affects us all.

Whether you blog about making money online, home based businesses, parenting, homeschooling, religion, politics, or celebrity bloopers - you are effected by and have an effect on the environment every day.

People all over the world are experiencing more asthma, allergies, illness from unhealthy water, AIDS, other viruses. And while there are things we can’t have an immediate profound effect upon there ARE things we can do to help.

Spread Awareness.

If there’s something that you care about, or something that pisses you off, don’t sit quietly. Talk about it, inform others, educate them. Spread awareness like a virus of knowledge to heal the world. Continuously educate yourself, too.

Take Action.

As the Swoosh would say: “Just Do It.” Find a group in your area and help them clean your neighborhood. Go on vacation and leave wherever you go better than you found it. Change each lightbulb in your home and office to compact fluorescents - they use much less energy to burn bright. Don’t waste. Recycle. Reuse.

Throw money at it

Buy from socially and environmentally conscious vendors. Donate some of your profits to causes that send the majority or 100% of their donations to the ones they support. Ask your readers and clients to chime in about the causes they support. Offer matching funds.

Being environmentally conscious especially in businesses where you inspire and educate others is a gift to the world. Coincidentally, the path that’s best for the environment often saves money for you, too.

I say, “Being green is just good business!”
