Blog Action Day: Stand Up To Poverty, October 15th

October 15th is Blog Action Day 2008. Get involved.

What is Blog Action Day?

“Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. The aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.” - This year the discussion is poverty.

In layman’s words… the goal of Blog Action Day is to get as many bloggers as possible writing about the same issue on the same day and to do it in a unique way that is associated with their own blog.

You can read more about Blog Action Day here.

Why?

To raise the awareness about poverty and make people talk, think and act about it.

Did you know half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day?

There are even more frightening facts than that.

Save The Earth Campaign - 100% of all proceeds go to charity

I am trying to raise money for Greenpeace and WWF to help ‘save the earth‘ and I am doing this through the ‘Save The Earth Campaign‘ however this is only going to be possible, with the help of YOU.

I also hope to raise awareness of Earth Day being held on April 22nd.

How are we going to raise the money?

I have set up a shop in CafePress that features the save the earth illustration (which can be seen above and below) on a large variety of products, some of which are shown below. 100% of all proceeds will go straight to the charities mentioned. 50% to Greenpeace and 50% to WWF. Why not get something you need and give money to charity at the same time!?

Please check out the shop and buy a product!

As you can see above there is a wide range of goods to choose from including Apparel (Clothing), Baby Goods, Housewares, Hats & Bags, Stickers, Buttons & Magnets, Posters, Prints and much more! There is something for everyone. I have got a t-shirt on the way
