One of the sites that I have on my Google home page is for Slow Leadership. which is dedicated to “returning humanity to the workplace”. I like their tagline:

Real leadership isn’t an instant activity any more than a healthy diet is a hamburger, fries and a large soda

Their blog today highlights the forthcoming Blog Action Day on 15th October. The purpose of Blog Action Day is for bloggers around the web to unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind. In its inaugural year, Blog Action Day will be co-ordinating bloggers to tackle the issue of the environment.

To take part in Blog Action day, all you have to do is publish a post on your blog which relates to the environment. I can imagine a hundred ways in which educators could blog about the environment on any day of the year, so I am sure there will be plenty of ideas for the 15th October-an ideal opportunity to raise the profile of blogging among colleagues and pupils, too.

Ideas for resources and charities to support are found here.
