A new model for network of bloggers in hot ecological regions has been set up. The new ideology of network functioning is currently in development progress, so as to concentrate the works of different hot lines directed to solve certain environmental problems. Now the network includes 24 communities where 24 webpages have been created within 5 months. Each webpage is used by a group of local bloggers: 10 more communities are planned to involve in the network and to create 10 more webpages.

Reason:
The innovation we propose is that we create hotlines for communities in single information space on www.ecolur.org/blog where there are risks for health and environment. We give an opportunity to local people to share news and express their opinions on community webpages so as these opinions are taken into consideration by people taking decisions. The blog activities are supplemented with professional video and photo materials and news on www.ecolur.org, the materials are disseminated on Facebook and Twitter, published in the mass media in the form of press releases.
