Please cast a vote to help a very worthy cause!

No, this is not a vote for anyone on American Idol. This is a much better cause, and it takes the same amount of time.

A good friend's son has formed a student-run group which is competing for a grant to install a Solar Photovoltaic system and implement a number of renewable energy curricula in their high school. The recipient of this grant is decided exclusively by popular, online vote.

Voting is only open until May 15th at 11:59PM (That’s Saturday). Not sure of the time zone except that it's in the U.S. so don't delay. Detailed below is the short process it takes to cast a vote.

To vote:

Go to brighterplanet.com, and register - this only requires an email address, password and username. That's it!

Once signed up, select the "Project Fund" tab, select the "Belgrade High CARE Project", and cast your three votes. (Your effort is worth THREE votes, not one!) The direct link is: http://brighterplanet.com/project_fund_projects/146

You can read the project proposal here, as well, if you want to ensure your votes are going to a good cause. Currently, the kids' cause has got the most votes but there is formidable competition from a filmmaker who would use the grant money to purchase video equipment. You can ask yourself, which do you think is a better cause: purchasing yet more film equipment for a filmmaker? Or supporting a student-run organization what wants to use the money to implement Renewable Energy Solutions in their high school?

Please vote and then share this with everyone or anyone you know. Or just link here - it's totally public. It really is a great cause and the kids have worked so hard on this. To help, all you need to do is vote!

Thanks so much for your time!

amazing kids, renewable energy, green projects, good cause, responsibility
