Coordinators must be thoughtful in selecting a subject that is relevant and important around the world, this year’s hot topic, The Environment. On October 15^th, over 20,000 bloggers committed to the topic and have the potential to reach over fourteen million people. Blog topics ranged from discussing green companies, ways to reduce your impact on global warming, recycling, organic farming, criticisms of state environmental policy, etc... Of course organizers hope to keep the conversation going. The event is a proactive catalyst to stimulate further discussion and change.

While bloggers may agree on one topic to discuss the international scope still leaves room for versatility amongst the unity. This allows for a number of different opinions and perspectives to come to light and help develop an understanding of the problem as a whole on the international stage. Once again the internet has brought together millions of people to connect on a chosen issue in hopes of a response and another push for change. The internet’s ability to facilitate far reaching associations is something we can all use to move in a positive direction on the environment or any topic.
