St. Louis, MO \u2013 June 28 \u2013 St. Louis-based blogger Jeff McIntire-Strasburg will celebrate the second anniversary of his weblog sustainablog<\/a> by hosting a 24-hour \u201cblogathon\u201d called \u201cBlogging \u2018Round the Clock\u201d<\/a> to raise funds for the Missouri Botanical Garden\u2019s Earthways Center<\/a>. The event will take place on July 11-12, 2005.<\/p>\n

McIntire-Strasburg, an assistant professor of English at Lincoln University<\/a> in Jefferson City, MO, made his first post to sustainablog, which is dedicated to the topic of environmental sustainability, on July 11, 2003. \u201cIn those two year, I\u2019ve written several hundred posts, and facilitated discussions on everything from solar energy to organic farming to \u2018green\u2019 business,\u201d said Mcintire-Strasburg. \u201cTwo years is quite a run for a blog, so I felt like this anniversary deserved a celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBlogging \u2018Round the Clock\u201d will involve McIntire-Strasburg posting to sustainablog for twenty-four hours straight. \u201cI plan to do it with lots of organic coffee, and a little help from my friends.\u201d He has enlisted a number of other “green” bloggers to donate writings to the effort, and plans to publish about fifty posts during the event. Among the bloggers that will contribute to \u201cBlogging \u2018Round the Clock\u201d are Joel Makower<\/a>, an author of numerous books on sustainable business and founder of GreenBiz.com<\/a> and ClimateBiz.com<\/a>; Jamais Cascio, senior contributing editor of the Utne Independent Press Award-winning WorldChanging.com<\/a>; Dave Roberts, assistant editor and blogger for online environmental magazine Grist<\/a>; and Jacqui Hossford, publisher of green building blog Enviropundit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McIntire-Strasburg has asked his readers to pledge donations for each post he makes. \u201cMost of the pledges have been in the $.25-.50\/post range, and I\u2019d love to raise many small pledges to support the Earthways Center.\u201d He choose the Center as the recipient of funds raised because \u201cit\u2019s a symbol for St. Louisans of the environmentalist maxim \u201cThink Globally, Act Locally.\u201d I couldn\u2019t think of another local institution that better embodies the ideas and issues my readers and I discuss and debate on a daily basis.\u201d Earthways Center Program Manager Jean Ponzi notes \u201cGetting the message out about the value of \u2018green\u2019 is the core of EarthWays Center’s work. All our programs and outreach are geared to educate and motivate people – to excite people! – about the connections between how environmental protection safeguards the health of individuals and communities, and how investments in resource conservation can yield immediate cost-savings and long-term wealth for the community at large, not just for a few quick-gain individuals\u2026 Sustainabilty is a terrific focus for a marathon online dialogue – there’s so much to engage with! EarthWays Center appreciates this effort by sustainablog to share the green spotlight – as well as the \u2018folding green\u2019 pledges to Missouri Botanical Garden!\u201d<\/p>\n

McIntire-Strasburg also hopes that \u201cBlogging \u2018Round the Clock\u201d will serve to raise futher awareness of environmental issues, and the innovative solutions that businesses, individuals and non-profit organizations have proposed and enacted to address diverse problems like climate change, pollution and loss of biodiversity. \u201cSo many environmental problems seem overwhelming. With sustainablog, I want to highlight the many people and groups that are engaging these problem with creativity, ingenuity and passion.\u201d<\/p>\n
