It was my hope that we would get at least a few people to join us in answering this question. I am very happy to see that so many of you did take part and contribute with some genuinely amazing posts. I would like to thank you all for your participation, this is what makes Steemit special and unique! I would like to give a big shout out to @stickycj for putting himself out there and writing a great post despite being a bit nervous to do so.. Now you have the writing bug! Also a congrats to @scaletrix for getting the most upvotes on his post out of all of us!

Choosing the winner is always hard. There is no right and wrong, and we had SUCH a varied and abundant set of responses. Nevertheless, somebody has to be the winner and so we made our choice based on the majority vote of the 16 ecoTrain passengers. It wasn't unanimous, but there was a clear winner!

So, without further ado, I would like to congratulate @ecoinstant for his wonderful post! We were very impressed, touched and inspired to read what you had to say. So much so that I am awarding you the full $40 SBD reward as well as a position as a passenger on the ecoTrain. We like what you have to say and will be happy to support you and encourage you to keep on writing. I will transfer this to you today.

I hope the rest of you still enjoyed this process.. and of course we hope you will write again next time for our Question of the Week!

Thank you all for taking part in this: @ideamaker, @ogejoy, @sostrin, @ecoinstant, @bigbear, @jasonshick, @stickycj, @scaletrix, @theleapingkoala
