Yesterday was Earth Day and I had no plans to do anything special. But my day turned out to be very extra special because I am happy to report that I was one of the highest bidders in the Global Green USA eBay Auction. I will soon be the proud owner of The 11th Hour Poster and DVD signed by Leonardo DiCaprio.

I must have had beginner's luck, or the stars were just aligned in my favor yesterday, because I have never been involved in any auction with eBay or have been part of any other online auction. I placed only one bid, on just one item early yesterday, and I won.

I am actually shocked that I was the highest bidder. I really thought someone would swoop in during the last few hours and out bid me like was done on so many of the other items. Compared to what the other items sold for, I feel I got the autographed 11th Hour poster & DVD for a real bargain price.

Since I got such a low bargain price, can someone please tell me what I can donate to Global Green in order to have Leo personally deliver the poster & dvd to me at my home? Can I create my own Meet & Greet Leo Experience Package?  Of course I would want it be a very eco-friendly experience package.  

Seriously, I was thrilled to be part of this one-of-a-kind non-profit green charity auction to help raise funds for Global Green's National Green Schools and Climate Solutions initiatives. It was wonderful to see how many items Leonardo generously offered up for the auction, and how successful the auction was in raising needed funds in these tough economic times. This auction was also instrumental in raising awareness for the need to take action on climate change.

I will post a picture of my new autographed 11th Hour poster once I get it framed and put up on my wall in my home office.

I am sending all my gratitude and appreciation to Leonardo and everyone at Global Green...because of all of you; I had a very extra special Earth Day.

THANK YOU!
