Blog Action Day is here.

Well, the day is finally here. We all will be witnesses to wether a thing like the Blog Action Day actually does the planet anything good, or if the vast masses of uneducated citizens rather go shopping online for their next SUV or oversized plasma tv. Greenpeace, in the meantime, finds that the iPhone, on top of being tied to monopolist carriers of the countries it descends upon, features a slew of nice toxins, despite Apple’s promise to be greener with every new product and having the now even more famous Al Gore on its board of directors. In further news today, China vows to be looking after its environment in literally the same second they announce to build the world’s largest dam, forcing millions of people out of the region and obliterating nature in the surrounding area.

Finally, if you feel like you have something important to say or want to express your thoughts about the topic, you might want to join this afternoon’s chat with Stavros Dimas, the EU’s Commissioner for the Enviroment.
