I would love to give this book to my children's school library. It sounds like a great way to inspire kids to make a difference.<br /><br />Chrissie <br />thescribe at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836798023173461970.post-70385072570477033642011-02-10T14:32:26.953-08:002011-02-10T14:32:26.953-08:00What a wonderful interview.

It is one thing to talk to my daughters about the environment, inspiring people and great ideas but having resources such as a book like Seeds of Change can make those messages so much more powerful. Thanks for bringing such beautiful art into the world!<br /><br />Michelle--LOVE your blog!!! Thanks so much for mentioning it to me today. Can't wait to check it all out.

Wangari Maathai sounds like one of those people, and I can't wait to read her life story. <br /><br />p.s., your tree question was a nice one, and I enjoyed her answer!Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836798023173461970.post-18981939413843078032011-02-09T23:14:48.971-08:002011-02-09T23:14:48.971-08:00My Chicago grandgirl loves searching for nature ev...My Chicago grandgirl loves searching for nature every day as she walks to catch the school bus. She reports back to me sharing sightings of the creatures and plants she has recognized or needs to identify. She even grew a sunflower seed in her high-rise apartment window last summer. She will truly benefit from Seeds Of Change.circulatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503804083310105325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836798023173461970.post-68596437489935127032011-02-09T13:26:01.936-08:002011-02-09T13:26:01.936-08:00This interview really had me thinking.

They will not experience a forest or even be able to understand what open space looks like. I try to expose them to these ideas, and I think this book would give me some great teachable moments. I want my students to know that it is a big world out there and that they too can help protect it.<br /><br />Amanda <br />cppamanda@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836798023173461970.post-25116281554342167152011-02-09T10:13:19.250-08:002011-02-09T10:13:19.250-08:00Great interview.

The other thing was the idea that Wangari Maathai had. Yes, her community helped bring it to "fruition", but everything, EVERYTHING starts first with an idea. Thanks for giving me something to think about.

I truly believe that life here on earth is hard work. It takes values, discipline, energy, honesty and going against the norm to fully live out what we believe in. Community is the key to many of these things. When we work together, we can accomplish much. Sharing knowledge will spur us on towards more hard work! Kind of like as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another! This "green read" sure sounds like it would spur me on!<br /><br />Thanks for putting this together, Michelle. I enjoyed it with my tea this afternoon!<br /><br />Heidi Polcaster h.polcaster@sbcglobal.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
