    I've signed up, logged in and voted but it keeps telling me that my vote will not count until I verify myself. I don't understand how. I select "Resend verification email" but nothing happens.

    The voting process is not clear! I was supposed to receive a verification in my email, but did not. What gives? This is hardly a fair contest when votes are not properly counted! Peg

    I refuse to spend more than 10 minutes with unhelpful website- I tried several times to sign up. I am a big supporter of Cape Wind, but I am also busy.

    Go Cape Wind! O ye of little patience, I just signed up. Yes I did, I had one little problem and had to try again, but hey -- a small price to pay for Cape Wind, my friend. Metamama

    It wasn't clear, but after going to my email and verifying my address, I came back to this site. There is no clear instruction. But if you click on a project from the list, it links to a project description and there- the option to vote. I brought Clean Power Now to 700 with my three! Keep trying, it feels good. Hopefully, all the projects will all come to fruition eventually. Thanks Brighter Planet.

    Please vote for Glencliff High School Soil Rejuvenation! This is a great cause that teaches youth how to grow, harvest, sell, and cook fresh, organic produce. It teaches life and entrepreneurial skills that will help students throughout college and the rest of their life.
