Today I sent e-mails to every person I knew telling them about my blog, the Smart Spaces Inside and Out site and the launch of my GreenHabbers website with a short explanation of what the environmental movement is and my commitment to it. Most of my family and friends still think I'll come to my senses and this too shall pass. Two of the 200 people I e-mailed told me to continue to keep sending them my blog. They don't seem to understand that they can go to it on their own. I'll keep sending it. Whatever it takes. One friend in Texas knew someone who was interested in the 'green movement' and promised to spread the word herself. That gave me hope. I will continue to add to my list and send e-mail messages. I know there are more effective ways of marketing but I don't think that is what I was doing when I spread the word this morning. I was hoping that my friends and family would listen to someone they knew before they listen to the news media or other experts. If experts haven't been able to convince them maybe I could. I planted seeds this morning and I have no doubt most will bloom....eventually. I hope everyone reading this blog will spread the word tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. Never underestimate the power of one voice!

Congratulations Valerie on your new website, as well as your new blog. I have already bookmarked it and will continue to follow your 365 day green journey.
By the way, I have also given a "plug" to GreenHabbers under the Useful Links section at our website at www.kdbalidesigns.com
Good luck, and all the best,
Dolf
