Hey Internet, I don’t usually ask for too much from you - but I was wondering if you could do me a small favor? I entered my ‘Create Cutlery’ project into the Make: Tag Your Green contest and I would really appreciate it if you’d take a second (seriously, one or two seconds) just to click ‘vote’.
You can only vote for a particular project once, but you can vote for as many projects as you like! If you don’t like my project, feel free to take a look at the other ones and vote for whoever. A Georgia Tech alumn and friend, Karen MacKay, has her Vertical Theory project entered, too - you can vote for her here.
