MinnPost’s first broad-based appeal for Earth Journal donations brought in $1,249 by 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6.
The campaign will run through next Thursday, Feb. 13. The goal: to raise $7,000 in 7 days, to sustain Ron Meador’s thought-provoking journalism about the environment, energy and related matters.
Special thanks to donors who took the time to tell us why they decided to donate:
- Rolf Westgard, St. Paul: “Earth Journal covers a frequently neglected topic that is critical to the survival of humanity.”
- Mary and Michael Lilja, Edina: “We love Ron’s environmental reporting and want to help ensure that it continues.”
- Nate Arthur, Roseville: “The only source for meaningful environmental coverage in Minnesota which provides insights to diverse audiences and perspective.”
- Douglas Owens-Pike, Minneapolis: “Important analysis that should be even more widely disseminated.”
- Lance Groth, St. Paul: “The world faces many serious problems, but environmental issues rank as the most important, in my estimation, because without a healthy biosphere to sustain us, everything else becomes moot. Ron Meador does a fine job of covering these issues, and his thoughtful analyses always give me something new to think about. I’m very grateful that MinnPost sees fit to include an environmental blog.”
- Samuel Brungardt, St. Paul: “I work for the State of Minnesota, and to me responsible and accurate coverage of the environment is very important.”
- Stuart Braman, Port Washington, NY: “Quality thoughtful environmental coverage is sorely needed, and it’s great to see it growing at MinnPost even as it diminishes in quantity and quality elsewhere.”
