Today is Blog Action Day 2009
by Danny Fisher
Today is Blog Action Day 2009, and the focus this year is on climate change. As part of my action today, I’d like to mention again about the Buddhist Climate Declaration–the pan-Buddhist declaration on climate change authored by Dr. David Tetsuun Loy and Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi with scientific input from Dr. John Stanley.
The effort was initiated by contributors to the new Wisdom Publications title A Buddhist Response to the Climate Emergency, and the first signer was His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Over 5,000 people, from over 100 countries and most Buddhist traditions, have now signed the Declaration. If you haven’t already, you can sign it here.
I’m proud to be one of the 62 Dharma teacher/scholar signatories on the declaration, and I hope you will add your name to this document.
And, if you’re a blogger, please take part in Blog Action Day 2009! Visit http://www.blogactionday.org for more information.
