Opting in to the Changeblogger Meme

Qui Diaz of the Buzz Bin has started a cool Changeblogger Meme. No, I haven’t been tagged and no- I can’t call myself a changeblogger proper just now, but I like the meme and was inspired to participate! Who knows, maybe I will be inspired to be a changeblogger! I found the meme on Alexandra Rampy’s blog (a.k.a SocialButterfly). You should check out both of these blogs if you have any interest in social media and marketing. On to the meme…

What is one change – big or small, local or global – you want to see in your lifetime?

I’d like to see more attitudes change in the United States (enough to reach that tipping point) about climate change, our environment and the importance (and real need!) of living sustainably.

Who is already working this issue that you think others should support?

Many more than I can think of or name. Here’s who comes to mind at the moment: Global Giving Green, The Nature Conservancy, Greenpeace and the Union of Concerned Scientists.

How are you going to use your Web/tech/marcom skills to further this cause? (Or, what are you already doing that works?)

I’m just getting started blogging- tried to add the Social Actions widget to this post but didn’t have success. (See it in action on Amy Sample Ward’s blog.) I’m doing my best to study up on social media and hope to become a leading point of contact in my metro area (Louisville) for nonprofits that want to get into social media.

Admittedly, most of my efforts in the green arena are in my daily life, not so much with my web or social media skills. So- I am open to suggestion! I think this is something I will have to develop!

And Finally…
