Help New Orleanians help themselves.

If you ever loved me, or liked me, or smooched me at an f2f, or downloaded something I posted, or asked me environmental advice, or just know what it means to miss New Orleans, then please vote for Historic Green to win $5000. We have a narrow lead and there are only three days left to vote. I promise we will use the money wisely to help the Lower Ninth Ward rebuild and I will post pictures from my trip to New Orleans.

Historic Green is a 502(c)3 all-volunteer run organization which I have volunteered with for three years running. We are helping the Lower Ninth Ward rebuild in a green fashion, which is in line with their goal to become carbon and climate-neutral. Our efforts preserve historic buildings, improve homeowners' energy efficiency and reduce their bills, reduce street flooding, promote material reuse, bring people back to the neighborhood, and on and on. Learn more by asking me questions and/or visiting Historic Green's website.

I AM SHAMELESS. VOTE.

I will even bribe you by promising to answer (privately if necessary) any one question you feel like asking me. You get bonus points (and questions, if you like) for reposting and/or Tweeting.

You can see pictures volunteers and work from last year here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/holycrossneighborhood/sets/72157617989955504/
