Blog Action Day 09 – Climate Change

History

In 2007 Collis & Cyan created an initiative. One that combines the growing popularity of social networks and blogs with serious issues and awareness. Blog Action Day has a short but impressive history of uniting people all over the globe to link together, forming a massive chain of writers and readers to help raise awareness and discuss 1 common issue, we all share.

This year the Envato team passed Blog Action Day over to Change.org. Change.org is a site founded on the belief that people want to make a difference, people want to help. The website exists to inform and empower people to combat some of the most urgent issues of our time. Blog Action Day couldn’t be in better hands.

The Issue

This year the issue being addressed is Climate Change. And I figured there was no better way for VideoHive to get involved other than to help share information through our beloved medium; Video. Below are some brilliant examples of motion graphics and video work created to inform, created to empower, created to spark change.

Our generation, have an advantage that our predecessors did not. We have a means to connect instantly on a global scale, and share information with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Change is not going to happen on its own, and its our job to empower people with the information and tools needed to make the difference. Climate change is real, we must take a stand.
