In August, Lighter Footstep’s Chris Baskind pointed us to Blog Action Day, a single day on which

…participating bloggers will post an article which deals in some way with green issues. A financial blog might address eco-friendly investing. An automotive site could choose to focus on hybrids or plug-in vehicles. It’s all about the Earth — and diversity of opinion.

Well, Blog Action Day is here, and we’re proud to be among the nearly 16,000 blogs taking part in this day of action.

Of course, we do green issues every day at Green Options, so this is hardly a stretch for us. In order to contribute to the event, we’re going to highlight (and link to) posts throughout the day from "non-green" blogs. Here’s the first batch — I’ll update this post throughout the day to give you a glimpse of what’s being said around the blogosphere.

Obviously, with the number of blogs participating, the team and I won’t be able to read (or highlight) them all, so feel free to point to some of you favorites in the comments.

Congratulations to the organizers of Blog Action Day — what a great idea! Consider GO in for any future events…
