Blog Action Day comes around again, and in 2009 the topic is climate change.

Something like 7532 blogs from 139 countries with a combined readership of 11480067 readers and rising are coordinated on one day to write about a common topic in the hope of building sufficient critical mass to make an impact on overall awareness of the issue.

Here is a sample to start off with, I’ll be adding more as Blog Action Day progresses:

• When The Waters Rise – A Song for Blog Action Day
• Gordon Brown’s blog on climate change
• Blog Action Day Havering Folk Club
• Classroom Displays – Climate Change
• Linda Hartley – Blog Action Day
• Blog Action Day on Twitter
• Blog Action Day – from internet to live

Although the actual proportion of the UK workforce which currently makes use of smarter working practices is not clear, ‘home workers’ – defined by as ‘people who work mainly in their own home, or in different places using home as a base’, is known to be 3.1 million out of 28.76 million, or 11 per cent of the total workforce (source: National Statistics, Labour Market Trends Oct 2005). Work Wise UK believes that this can be extended to 50 per cent of the workforce within five years.
