Need Ideas for Writing about Climate Change for Blog Action Day?

Do you need ideas for writing about climate change for Blog Action Day tomorrow? (Blog Action Day on Twitter).

Everyone isn’t perfectly politically minded or caught up on all the environmental issues. Also, you may think about the idea of climate change personally versus globally.

That’s how I intend to write about it. So, here are some ideas that have come to my mind. I hope they help inspire you if you’ve been feeling stuck for just the right idea.

  • The seasons, what do you appreciate about having 4 seasons in the year?
  • What are your favourite winter and summer activities?
  • What do you think of those wind farms popping up?
  • What do you know about other alternative sources of energy?
  • Could you (or have you) chosen not to drive your car for the day?
  • Do you love the rain? What is your favourite memory from a rainy day?
  • How are winters different now than they were when you were a kid? Do you remember more snow or does it seem about the same?
