Animal-friendly bloggers, may I have your attention for a moment? I promise it's important. If you haven't heard already, tomorrow is Blog Action Day 2009, and this year's issue is climate change.

I'm guilty of not pointing this out sooner, but better late than never, right? Thousands of bloggers from around the world are going to be writing on this single issue -- a single issue of monumental importance -- tomorrow. And animal rights advocates absolutely need to be among them, not only because of how climate change threatens our fellow animals and their habitats across the planet, but also because of how significantly our exploitation of animals (i.e., raising and killing them en masse for food, clothing, etc.) is contributing to climate change in the first place.

So whatever you normally write about, whether animal rights or yummy vegan food or whatever else, please take the time to quickly register here today, and then tomorrow, write a post related to climate change. And check out the below video for Blog Action Day while you're here (there's also much else to check out at the project's site).

And finally, kudos not only to the folks who originally founded Blog Action Day, but also to the folks who this year took over the task of running it: Change.org itself is now powering Blog Action Day, and the team working on it has been putting in a lot of time, energy, and excitement to make sure it's a success.

Stephanie Ernst wrote the original Animal Rights blog at Change.org until December 2009. She can now be found at Animal Rights & AntiOppression.
