Today is Blog Action Day which is "an annual event held every October 15 that unites the world's bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day with the aim of sparking discussion around an issue of global importance".

This year's topic is climate change.

So why a picture of 10 random fruit and vegetables?

Because I'm a firm believer in personal action (though not always a successful implementor of same!) of the kind espoused by the 10:10 campaign - each of us committing (as individuals and businesses) to cut 10% of our emissions by 2010.

We recently resolved to eat mainly vegetarian food at home. I wanted to do this largely on health grounds but it turns out to have a significant effect on our carbon footprint, at least according to this helpful list of 10 tips for a greener, happier life from the UK's Guardian newspaper. Cool.
