EnviroHumanImpact is incredibly excited to introduce it’s newest series and blog carnival: Cirque du Vert.
Is that English? Well, first of all, it’s French and while we don’t typically use French on EHI, we thought it appropriate to name our blog carnival in line with other prominent theatrical acts such as Cirque du Soleil (so pardon our French). If you haven’t stayed up on your French since high school, “Cirque du Vert” basically translates to “Circus of the Green.” So in other words, a carnival of green ideas and environmental topics. Not to mention, we believe you’ll find Cirque du Vert to be a “premium” blog carnival, much the same as the Cirque du Soleil shows are premium theatrical or circus acts.
But wait, about the “blog carnival,” what is it? Well, according to Blog Carnival, it is:
A particular kind of blog community. There are many kinds of blogs, and they contain articles on many kinds of topics. Blog Carnivals typically collect together links pointing to blog articles on a particular topic. A Blog Carnival is like a magazine. It has a title, a topic, editors, contributors, and an audience. Editions of the carnival typically come out on a regular basis (e.g. every monday, or on the first of the month). Each edition is a special blog article that consists of links to all the contributions that have been submitted, often with the editors opinions or remarks.
Now that you know what a blog carnival is, what can you expect from Cirque du Vert? Cirque du Vert will be hosted by EnviroHumanImpact every other Friday and brings an “enviro-copia” of blog entries, focusing on the main relationship between human actions affecting the environment and the way the environment in turn affects humans. We’re looking for the best posts on everything from “Going green” tips and environmental news to recycling, conservation, and gardening. If you have a quality, original, green or environmental post on your blog, we want to see it!
Submission Guidelines: Each bi-weekly edition will focus on a unique topic concerning “green” or environmental topics (i.e. Recycling, Green Tips, Pollution, etc.). The first edition is scheduled for Friday, July 25th, 2008 and is open to all environmental topics. If you’re interested in submitting a post for this or any future edition you can do so via our Submission Form at BlogCarnival.com.
You can help make this a success! Consider this your chance to be heard and become a more active participant in the EnviroHumanImpact community. Comment below if you have any questions and we’ll see you in two weeks!
