Shawn Smith’s web ninja life

Hey folks,

Today is Blog Action Day, and I’m doing my part by bringing you a story by the Grand Rapids Press about eco-stewards playing a bigger role in the corporate workplace.

The story notes that “green-collar” jobs are growing and many of them have good job security since companies far and wide are facing issues associated with global warming.

If you’re interested, head over to Dream Green Jobs and find if there is a position suitable for you. The site lists what looks like hundreds of jobs - many of them in the Western states.

I wrote a post at New Media Bytes asking if newspapers can cut the story jump to save trees and the planet. Give it a look if you’re feeling green today.

If you want to get religious about your commitment to the environment, join Barack Obama in professing your environmentalist faith. As many think, it will take him or another new president for the U.S. to take urgent action in a “Climate Year.”

What are you doing to help the environment today?

Attention all web publishers: Oct. 15 marks Blog Action Day.

That means, it’s time to come together and blog for your planet. Thousands of bloggers will participate in this global event to reach about 12 million readers, according to CNN Sunday Morning. So why not you?

Wired News says:

Blog Action Day is less about a particular issue than it is about the blogosphere flexing its muscles, with professional help.

What can you do?

This is a chance to find out how much influence bloggers can have if they band together on a single topic and call for change. Will they make a difference?
