Why did I share this?Blog Action Day is a global movement of bloggers to all

discuss the same issue on a single day. This year, the topic is global warming and for my contribution I thought it fitting to spotlight some of the best and most creative marketing thinking that is out there from passionate people helping spread awareness of climate change.

It is my hope that through sharing these campaigns I can not only be part of the movement, but also to help inspire other marketers like me to think bigger about the world

we live in and how marketing can help save it.
