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?
  • Have you done things to reduce your car­bon footprint?
  • Have you expe­ri­enced any extreme weather, like tornadoes?
  • Do you use solar power for anything?
  • Do you think cli­mate change could lead to an ice age in the far future?

  • Do you ride a bike, could you ride instead of dri­ving to work?
  • Have you got­ten into the local food trend, shop­ping for food grown within 100 miles of your home?
  • Have you tried a hybrid car or any kind of alter­na­tive fuels?
  • What kind of weather do you most look for­ward to each year?
