As most bloggers are doing, we are taking part in this year’s Blog Action Day in which bloggers unite to comment and discuss on one unified topic. This year’s theme is poverty. So far there have been many great posts on poverty such as powerful children portraits, donations and reviews of non-profit logos.

Rather than sit and reflect on the problems and challenges faced by those who need to live with so little, we are going to help take action. Josh and I have agreed to donate 10 percent of our next contracted job towards a charity to help fight poverty. (more…)

Once again this year, we will be participating in Blog Action Day on October 15, 2008. On this day, bloggers from all over the world write their thoughts, concerns and ideas regarding one universal issue. The issue that has been chosen this year is poverty. (more…)

In honor of Blog Action Day, we are posting on a unified issue with most of the blogosphere . . . the environment. Our post is brief, but to the point. Keep mother earth clean and don’t throw your trash out your car window.

This planet provides you with the necessary resources to live (water, air and food) so the least you can do to show your appreciation is putting your trash where it belongs…a trashcan.

If you are a polluter, you probably are not going to stop spreading your trash around because the Riddle Brothers are blogging against it. But stop and think the next time you go to litter . . . why are you doing it? Are you helping anyone out in the process? Or just being a selfish lazy bum that can’t put their trash where it belongs?

This also goes for smokers who toss their cigarette butts out car windows. What a sad sight it is when you stop at a redlight, look out your driver’s side window only to see the ground covered in a thick layer of old, discarded cigarette butts. Show some class, stop being lazy and put your cigarette butt in an ash tray or proper disposal unit.

To quote The Aquabats covering the Kids of Widney High song “Throw Away the Trash”:

Throw away, throw away, throw away the trash
come on everybody, throw away the trash
throw away, throw away, throw away the trash
come on everybody, throw away the trash

I pick up the trash
and throw it away
If i see a slob
I stop and say hey!

On Monday, October 15, 2007 the Riddle Brothers will be participating in Blog Action Day. Blog Action Day helps to unite bloggers around the world for one day to discuss a single issue.

This year’s issue will be the environment. Bloggers are encouraged to post an entry on October 15 about any topic related to the environment.
