October 15th is quickly becoming a popular date among bloggers all over the world. Why? Because it’s Blog Action Day<\/strong><\/a>, the one day when thousands of blogs join forces and write a post about the same topic, in order to raise awareness about a certain situation and encourage global debate about it. The first Blog Action Day, back in 2007, was about the environment<\/a>; last year we wrote about poverty<\/a>; and today the topic is climate change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, technology bears much of the blame for climate change: gadgets that are permanently plugged \u2013 even when not in use, TV sets and stereos left on standby, computers running 24\/7, oh and those airplanes… All these elements not only swell our electricity bill, but also mean an important waste of energy. But is there a way to\u00a0 use technology and software in a more environmental-friendly way? Fortunately the answer is yes! Pay attention to these easy tips and learn how to do your bit to fight climate change:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> First of all, be informed<\/strong>. If you want to learn more about climate change, what possible impact it could have on our planet and how we can soften it, use Google Earth. There’s a section in the Google Earth website<\/a> with information about the UN climate conference in Copenhagen, and a Google Earth layer<\/a> to track the influence of climate change on Earth.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Second, analyze the situation<\/strong>. How much are you contributing to climate change? Do you really care about environment in your daily life? Use a carbon calculator<\/a> to determine your carbon footprint \u2013 that is, the amount of CO2 you produce \u2013 and learn tricks to lower this value.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Third, take action<\/strong>. Use programs like Edison<\/a> to optimize energy saving configuration settings in your computer. You will not only save money on your electricity bill, but also save energy and use resources in a more responsible and environmental-friendly way.<\/p>\n
