I read in an article that the global IT industry is generating as much greenhouse gas as the world’s airlines!!!! By consuming less CO² you can make a difference for the planet by not speeding up the global warming, but how do you do that an easy way? One way is to do like we at Xavier Media did:

We invested in a wind power plant. This is not only making it possible for us to only use renewable green energy at our office, but it makes it possible for us to save some money too since we get to buy electricity at a much cheaper price as part-owner of the power plant. At the moment we're saving about 10% of our investment on our energy costs.

Xavier Media has always been interested in investments that make a difference especially when it comes to our planet and our environment. This is why we started this blog at XavierMedia.org and started investing apart of our profit from our regular business in companies and fund that donate a part of their profit for good causes.

Take a moment to think about how you can use little means to reduce your need for greenhouse gases and CO² needed in your every-day life. Every little thing helps like for example leaving your car at home for all shorter trips .

Each year they got a theme for the Blog Action Day and this year it's Climate Change. On their web site (BlogActionDay.org) they say this about why they selected Climate Change:

Climate change affects us all and it threatens more than the environment. It threatens to cause famine, flooding, war, and millions of refugees.

Given the urgency of the issue of climate change and the upcoming international climate negotiations in Copenhagen this December, we think the blogosphere has the unique opportunity to mobilize millions of people around expressing support for finding a sustainable solution to the climate crisis.

Climate is of course extremely important since if the planet dies, so will we. Some people may argue that we can always more to a new planet, but is that really the way to go? Destroy one planet and move on to next and next planet….. Also we don't have the technology to move to a new planet just yet, but we have technology to reduce our impact on the environment. We're just not good enough on using it.

Last year 12,000 blogs reached 14 million readers about the Blog Action Day and I hope this will reach even more people this year. Even if you don't have a blog you can help spreading the word using social media sites like Facebook or Twitter (click here to tweet about #BAD). You can also help spreading the word by adding a badge on your blog or web site:
