Maritime Shipping and Climate Change -- Blog Action Day

Admittedly, I had no idea what "Blog Action Day" is until I came across this post on gCaptain. Fortunately, we caught it in time to take part.
Blog Action Day is an annual event held every October 15 that “unites the world’s blogger” by encouraging them to post about the same issue on the same day. The website says that this years event will be one of the largest-ever social change events on the web, currently with 8,886 registered blogs and 12,509,322 readers from 148 Countries. So what is this years issue you ask? Climate Change.
Quite a convenient topic considering our World Maritime Day events taking place tomorrow, which in case you haven't heard, the topic is climate change! Come down and join us tomorrow at Chelsea Piers in New York City!
