It’s close to 8:30 and they’ve pulled ahead by 500 points!    By the way, I know that some people have not liked the fact that Ecochallenge will give you 150 points if you donate $30 to them, but I disagree.  This is a complicated and expensive infrastructure and it’s free, but the only way to fund it is through participants.  I really appreciated that they offered that many points for just a $30 donation. It’s one of the smallest amounts I’ve ever been asked for and this kind of action to donate does help climate change activists.  My two cents!  But no matter, I am so grateful for this challenge and our efforts to make a difference.  Thanks to all!
