Quick call-out for help: 10 hours left « It’s Getting Hot In Here

At 9am Monday morning Australian time, votes will close for the News.com.au Green Awards. Sorry to use the blog like this, but my friends told me I should ask the IGHIH community to help me out on this one. The winner of this award gets publicity on news.com.au and the Daily Telegraph, which would be awesome for the Australian Youth Climate Coalition. I’m one of four finalists in the News.com.au Green Awards and whilst I’m at 38% of the vote (411 votes), I am lagging behind the front-runner who has 508 votes. Can you take a second to vote for me? I need only 98 votes to get in front! Just go to this page click on the ‘Green Hero’ category and click ‘vote’. Thanks so much everyone who does: me & the AYCC really appreciate it!
