in the morning of a day, Global Warming Song and Calendar of Events

Currently, an increasing number of local events and actions about global warming are organized by individuals or groups in different parts of the world. The efficiency and effectiveness of these efforts would be maximized only if people act together.

The aim of the non-profit, non-political web platform in the morning of a day ® is:
  • to provide activists and event organizers with an opportunity to announce and promote their events and actions about global warming.
  • to inform the general public about these events and actions, and give them the opportunity to participate in them
  • to connect the event organizers, by informing them about each others' actions

Additionally, to strengthen and promote the idea of collective action, this platform offers a song, called in the morning of a day. Feel free to listen to it, download it, sing it and share it with others, in order to raise global warming awareness.

All the information posted on this platform is organized in detail and shared with all its users.

Going Green: Starting With Your Work Environment - from allgraphicdesign.com

Before we start talking about ways to “green your design,” we must first visit the office space in which you’re working. I feel it’s important to practice what you preach. For example, if you’re telling your clients to use less paper, don’t keep your trash can filled with old print-outs while your recycle bin is empty.

Brendan Smith: How green paper gold could bail out the planet

[...] There is growing international support for fighting global economic stagnation and global warming simultaneously with a "green New Deal". Investing to cut greenhouse gases can create "green jobs" and provide fiscal stimulus while protecting the planet. But how is it going to be paid for? The answer: green paper gold.
