I do think that if all bloggers wrote about the same topic on one day it would call attention to the issue. But I agree with some of your other commentors, it takes more than one day's attention to do something significant about a problem as big as world hunger. I didn’t know about blog action day or I would have written today’s post on it.

So blogging about is one such means. Good idea there linking up to that article, Chris. I had no idea about this until now. :D I'll share this back with my EWB friends, they'll find it interesting.

How on Earth writing about it helps people who starve? Who die because they cannot afford water? Who are scared that the crisis that is upon us will break down their lives? I just do not understand all that hype – but I do not mind to participate, not in the least. Although I do believe that "writing about poverty" is not the same as "fighting poverty itself". And even though I believe that poverty of mind (if I use the terms correctly) is way worse – since this is the only reason there is technical, monetary poverty in the world.
