    Hi fellow Green Bloggers,

    Shea Gunther, the Eco-Entrepreneur and blogger behind sheagunther.

    I wanted to let you know about the upcoming Green Blogathon and to encourage you to participate. I’ll be hosting it along with Jeff over at Sustainablog.

    I’m gathering green bloggers together to blog for 12, 18, or 24 hours straight coming up on Friday, February 24th. Bloggers commit to making two posts an hour and to raising money for a non-profit of their
    choice on a per-post pledge basis from their readers/friends/family.

    You can find more details and signup for the blogathon here

    Let me know if you have any questions. Even if you can’t join us, I hope you’ll consider posting about it, the more readers who see it the more money we have a chance of raising.

    Cheers!
    Shea

    PS- I’ll be raising money to preserve rain forest through the Nature
    Conservancy.
