I don't have a cell phone. I don't want a cell phone. I find it discriminatory to not allow people to vote based on their lack of a cell phone. I would like to vote for A Climate of Trust, but I see that according to your rules, I can't. So maybe you can find some other way to enter my vote fairly. Elise Houghton

Excellent project to support: using the law to hold governments accountable for the future health of our vital ecosystems and ability of the planet to sustain generations to come.
