Have you noticed how having a greener holiday is all the buzz? We say bring it on! The more the merrier! It's a sign that we're all going in the right direction. Mainstream means everyone's starting to take part -- and that's the goal. So if this is already your thing, keep talking it up. And if you're still just toying with ways to go greener, make the leap today. The holidays are a great place to start. Let's keep this chatter going till we're all green in the face.
You would think that having your book mentioned in the New York Times' Style section would be un-toppable. And while that's pretty hard to beat, another review I received today gave Alex Williams of the Times a good run for his money. The author's name is Latoya Pryce and I met her today at her church in the Bronx, where I had gone to read my book. She passed a note to me down the pew and it read, "Dear Victoria Perla, I think the book you wrote is very extraordinary. I say that because this book is written so that the kids can understand and it is very straight to the point. Also I think that this was a good idea to write this book, being a teenager I can understand the little things you do to prevent global warming. You have helped me to understand it much better and to do little things to prevent it. I thank you on behalf of the church and my family. Job well done, Latoya Pryce" Latoya -- job well done to you. Your note was articulate, beautifully written and very much appreciated. Yes, you can make a difference and so can all of the kids around you. Go change the world!
