Friday Link Love: Just Four More Days Edition

I guess I could have called this the Happy Halloween edition, but my family doesn’t celebrate Halloween, and I think the election is just a tad more important. Thus, the name 🙂  Here’s some election and voter information, along with some great green reads, giveaways and sales for your weekend:

Vote 2008

The election is now literally just days away. I have made my presidential choice pretty clear over the past few months. However, it really doesn’t matter to me who you’re planning to vote for — only that you vote. Being registered alone isn’t enough. You have to actually show up at the polls. Like millions of others, I’ve already cast my vote, thanks to advance voting in Georgia. I truly felt like I was making a difference for the future of our nation. If you haven’t voted yet, are still undecided, or aren’t sure where to vote, here are some links to help you out:

• Find out where to vote and get directions to your polling place
• Find out what candidates and measures will be on your ballot
• Find out more about the candidates and the issues in the presidential election
• Environmentalists for Obama: I’m not necessarily in agreement with 100% of his environmental policies, but I do believe he is the candidate who will make the most difference in taking the United States, and the world at large, toward a greener future.
