After being in the lead for the past three days and dawdling at the finish line, the Pearl Jam sponsored leatherback turtle Backspacer has crossed the finish line first in the Great Turtle Race!  The beautiful animal came from the northernmost waters in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Nova Scotia and travelled all the way to the Caribbean finish line.

This race has been a great way to draw attention to the endangered status of the Leatherbacks, and to remind us that every action to help conserve this earth and our environment makes a difference!  Check out Backspacer’s race history here.

thanks Hilman T from Bugs for the early warning!

Tired of obtaining low amounts of useless traffic for your website? Well i wish to tell you about a fresh underground tactic that makes myself $900 per day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you just check their site out? There is really a great video that explains everything. So if your serious about producing easy hard cash this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche
