Hi All,
I just received a lovely thank you card from Mary Toomey from Woburn for the flowers, which reminds us that we still need to send Mary, Donna and Kevin each a thank you note. I'll bring some note cards on Monday and let's make time to do this.
You also might want to send a note of thanks to the Shabecoffs.
Pasted below is an excerpt from a note I just received from Alice:
"Dear Laura,
needless to say, we should be thanking you for giving us an introduction to the very people in the very generation we hope will carry on this message and do something about it. In no way do you owe us a favor, hardly even the lovely thank you that you've sent us here. Philip does hate 'public speaking' which is a shame since I think he's inspiring, but once it was over and we had overcome the technology hurdle, I think he was pretty happy.
The questions were pretty astounding: how would a young man think to ask about environmental reporting back in the Stone Age of the '80s; how would it occur to a young woman to ask what writing a book together was like.
The only regret I have is that we couldn't talk about the new sciences [she's referring to the section on nanotechnology, etc]-- thou there's enough in the book if they read that part with some attention."
Please make sure to look at what is already posted on the LATTE site for resources relating to the issues raised in Poisoned Profits, including the Environmental working Group's (EWG.org) very accessible and good resources for making wiser consumer product and food choices (they address everything from cleaning products to makeup.)
