PLEASE correct (or alert Pepsi to correct) the glaring typographical error in the heading of your voting page: “Give injured Gulf coast sea turtles a place to get wll at the Pgh Zoo” should be “Give injured Gulf coast sea turtles a place to get WELL at the Pgh Zoo” — you’re missing an “e” in the word “well”!
