I'm posting this as a heads up for those of you who may want to get involved and I would encourage you to think about it. You may not achieve much, but for one reason or another you have chosen to make your voice heard and perhaps it might be a good idea to use your voice as part of a bigger scheme looking at a global issue. I'm not going to be so pretentious as to say you can change the world, but it might be interesting, and it's not like it costs you anything.
Last years bloggers wrote about the envirovment in thousands of different ways, styles and approaches. The organisers don't want you to turn into a campaigner or to do in depth researched sob stories, they ask you to write as you normally would, only to use this day for writing about one issue - the issue of Poverty. Perhaps I'm not being as clear as I should be so I'll let you hear a message from the organizers themselves...

So I'm not going to give you a campaign spiel, I'm just going to suggest that maybe it'd be something you'd like to get involved in. If you think it is, let me know and I'll be interested to see what you write.
