Blog Action Day: Blogging About Water
Today, thousands of popular blogs are blogging about one thing: water. Why? Because the most plentiful resource on earth happens to be one of the most scarce when it comes to finding it in a drinkable form. About one in every six persons on the planet have limited access (if any) to drinkable water.
It’s the result of a massive campaign by Change.org to provoke bloggers to inspire their readership to tackle a meaningful cause, such as by visiting charity:water or water.org and donating to the cause.
I think it highlights some important details about the blogging industry that we need not soon forget, such as:
- Popularity is one thing, but influence for good is quite another.
- Bloggers have power, more than ever, and it certainly isn’t shrinking.
- Even in a competitive field, a good cause is worth coming together for.
- Communities can accomplish huge goals.
- Few people want to be left out of major movements. So make major movements.

Great cause!! It is a sad fact that more people on this planet now have phones than safe water to drink. I posted a 4-part series titled “Better Living Through LESS Chemistry”.
It seems that we were promised great convenience and improved living through chemistry, plastics. But along with the conveniences came the toxicity.
There are practical, simple steps that we can all take to eliminate the toxins in our water.
Here is the post on how to improve our water: http://wp.me/pR4iB-d6
