Thoughts on Community Blogs

book-of-rubbish-ideasBrowsing through the Summer 2009 edition of The Co-operative Magazine during this morning’s coffee break I came across an article about blogging and saving the planet.  The article relates how three individuals have used blogging to share their environmental passions. {Click here to read the online version of the article for your self}

Tracey catalogues her family’s drive to de-clutter and lead a less consumer driven life. www.bookofrubbishideas.co.uk

Joe monitors the use of plastic bags for his post consumer waste reduction campaign. http://plasticbagwatch.blogspot.com

Karen blogs about her battle to go a week without putting anything in the rubbish bin through a combination of careful shopping and recycling. http://therubbishdiet.blogspot.com/

All three of the featured blogs have three things in common. They are all written by people who care dearly for their subject matter. Their enthusiasm shows through.  All three blogs are well read and finally, none of the blogs are about the technology. The blog content is more important than the blog website.
