Today is “Blog Action Day,” a unique day where 15,000 blogs have signed up to write about something related to the environment. While that’s nothing different for CCAN, there will be lots of blogs that don’t normally focus on the environment who will be today, so keep your eyes peeled for some interesting and different environmental discussions on the web.
It seems quite appropriate that today, being “Blog Action Day” and all, there will be some BIG environmental news.
So here it is. Step It Up, which will take place on November 3rd and is going to be a day when Americans from coast to coast will rally in their communities and invite their politicians to join them. So far, 8 different members of Congress have committed to attending a Step It Up event, but no presidential candidates have, despite receiving 17 invites. No presidential candidates, that is, until now…
Over the weekend, three presidential candidates committed to coming to a Nov. 3rd Step It Up rally. Who are they? Democrats John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich and Republican John McCain.
This information hasn’t even been posted on their website yet but it comes for a very reliable source so stay tuned to the Step It Up blog throughout the day to learn more.
There are still plenty of candidates left to invite. Do so using this simple “invite tool:”
Diagram of impacts to fisheries in the Chesapeake Bay
Warmer average temperatures are causing waterfowl to “shortstop” further north. Record low numbers of canvasbacks wintered in Chesapeake Bay in 2007, despite a large breeding population. The “missing” canvasbacks stopped in the Great Lakes, which remained largely unfrozen due to the unusually mild and late winter.
What changes you are seeing in the Chesapeake or your own backyard because to global warming?
