Real Estate Bloggers Participate In Blog Action Day
By NikNik · September 30, 2007
If you have been thinking about ways in which you can make a positive environmental impact, then I have a simple suggestion for you….participate in Blog Action Day.
What is Blog Action Day?
On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite by publishing posts which call attention to our environment. Major blogs have signed up to participate, including Lifehacker, Dumb Little Man, and Lifehack.org. Real Estate blog friends include: RE Revealed, Agent Solutions and Every Kid Deserves a Yard.
How can I get involved in Blog Action Day?
The best way to participate is to publish a post on your blog which relates to an aspect of our environment that you are passionate about. For example, if your blog focuses on real estate technology then write about a new technology which makes real estate more environmentally friendly, or perhaps sustainable real estate practices. There are numerous articles on the web about real estate going green. Or check out the following ideas:
- Smart Home Improvement
- Products and services for an eco-friendly household
- Realtors Go Green (businesses making a difference in their local area)
- Homeowners Go Green: tips real people can do to make a difference everyday
- Green architecture and changes made in housing developments
- The Green Commute: lessening your fuel impact on the environment
- The Green Roof: Urban dwellings establish green roof system
- Solar Powered Credit for Homeowners offered by PG&E
- Local Threatened or Endangered Species
- Developers face eco-friendly rules for building

I am currently running a month-long blogging campaign on environment-related matters, which had begun on Sept 15th, and will conclude on Oct 15th in conjunction with Blog Action Day. And I’d like to invite you to participate in the campaign.
Do you have any tips or experience to share?
Thanks for your comment and your environmental efforts. I’d love to take part in your campaign and offer some environmental educational tips and resources for teaching children. During my pre-RE blogging days, I organized and led an environmental field trip program for K-8 students, as well as introduced many sustainable practices into my 1st/2nd grade classroom. Education is key in understanding our environmental crisis.
Glad to see you’re joining. Looks like it will be an interesting event.
NikNik-
Kudos to you for participating in blog action day.
I decided to write a belated post of my own about an environmental issue
that might strike a cord with some of your readers:
Brazilian teak hardwood floors, slave labor, and the destruction of the
rain forest.

Keep up your good work.
Thank you!
