Seeking dough from the breadbasket of America

Congrats to the newly-greened states of Massachusetts, Colorado, New Hampshire, and Idaho, and the District of Columbia!

To the rest of you out there: Get cracking! Connecticut, Maryland, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, you only need one more vote, so make it happen.

And here's a shout-out to the breadbasket of America: Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, you put the heart in heartland -- now show everyone you heart Grist by donating now!

And if you're donating from outside the U.S., make your provisional donation where it's needed most -- Mississippi and South Carolina still have goose eggs in the Donations column, and Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas still need at least 10 votes to go green. Where is the love?

Our fundraising appeal is half over, and we're at nearly half our goal, but we're trying to raise $50,000 here, people! So, if you're from a state that's already green, keep giving.

We don't want to guilt you into giving us your green -- ok, yes we do -- but all of Grist's award-winning content is delivered to your inbox completely free of charge! That's right; no annoying registration pages, no pop-up ads, and no annual fee. Want to keep it that way? We thought so.

Give to Grist and insure the future of your favorite source of environmental journalism.
