Blog Action Day's website:
"On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue
on everyone’s mind - the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future.
Blog Action Day is about MASS participation. That means we need you! Here are 3 ways to participate:
* Post on your blog relating to the environment on Blog Action Day
* Donate your day’s earnings to an environmental charity
* Promote Blog Action Day around the web"
i discovered this brilliant idea at blue orchid designs. liene, the owner, is a wedding planner. we've hung out a few times & i can tell she does great work. i love her blog, she always has inspiring posts.
she had this artist featured awhile ago & i thought his work was fantastic.

pretty amazing & disgusting.
there are some very easy solutions to some of the huge issues. it's just a matter of taking the steps to start new environmentally friendly habits.
more to come! i just thought this was worth sharing. i encourage all bloggers to partake on oct. 15th :)
isn't his work phenomenal? It really is eye opening.
