Blog Action Day is the brainchild of Collis Ta’eed, and the first year he managed to recruit 20,000 bloggers to all write on the same topic on the same day. It was an amazing event. This year it should be even bigger and better, and it’s always fun to see what various bloggers have to say on the same issue.

Blog Action Day is a major social media effort to get everyone talking about an important issue on one day. No matter your blog’s topic, you can participate. When bloggers come together to focus on one topic, it gives attention to that topic, exposes readers, and shows the world that we can tackle some big issues if we all focus our efforts together.

Any blogger, large or small can participate. Head over to the Blog Action Day site and register your blog, or blogs. I usually sign a bunch of my blogs up and this year, so far Tree Hugging Family is on board (of course) as well as Thrifty Mommy, Blisstree Green Living, and Best Green Home Tips.

On October 15th you can sit back and let everyone discuss climate change, or you can join in and actively participate in the conversation. I’m gonna say join in!

As promised, Peggy and I have an Earth Day event running all month. We were trying to come up with what to do here for Earth Day, and that’s a tough one for us. We could blog green – but frankly we always blog green. How we could blog greener seemed to be pushing it.

That said, we put a call out to our b5media friends and asked them to write about green topics, from the perspective of their blog for a day. This is cool on many levels. You’re going to get to know some of our pals blogs, and we all get to learn about some new earth-friendly topics from another blog’s point of view.

Starting today we’ll be counting down to Earth Day by featuring different b5 bloggers and their green posts each day. We’ve got all kinds of cool blogs playing along; blogs about, cooking, sports, parenting, business, gardening, music, health, and more. It’ll be great to see what these blogs offer up all month. Each of our Earth Day posts will have the earth photo at the top, so they’ll be easy to spot.

We’re kicking off this event with a blogger you already know – me

You may know (or not) that I also blog at Offbeat Homes, a blog covering unusual structures. I also tend to cover many a green structure though (it is me) so since no one seemed to want to volunteer for the 1st, I did. Here are a few of my favorite green posts from Offbeat Homes.

If you’re looking for super tiny homes then you have to check out the earth friendly Tumbleweed Homes. There’s also a Tumbleweed follow up.

Possibly my most favorite reclaimed home on the planet. Or maybe it’s this green home that’s my fave.

Last up: Four Great Examples of Eco-Architecture

Tomorrow we’ve got a great health blogger you won’t want to miss, so stay tuned.
