Our Earth Journal campaign ended at midnight last night, with 63 donors having contributed a combined $6,545 in support of the twice-weekly column and MinnPost’s environmental coverage.

To everyone who gave, THANK YOU for your support!

Including the generous gifts received from our Earth Journal Circle donors, MinnPost members have collectively contributed more than $43,000 to sustain our award-winning environmental journalism in 2017.
