Very interesting!Rum Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675412616844332162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-8216862846196717652009-04-23T12:44:00.000-04:002009-04-23T12:44:00.000-04:00@Rummy: we're waiting for the title of the book?.....@Rummy: we're waiting for the title of the book?...

And she was saying what you said, that she would call environmental non profit orgs and be like, "tell me some Black people who are about the greenness..." and they were like "huh?" And so she had to do her own research, etc. And I will get y'all the name of the book in two shakes! But it was very interesting. A nice cocktail event @ someone's house, with Black people talking about going green. It blew my mind. Not that I don't think that we think about the environment, but you know...Rum Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675412616844332162noreply@blogger.com
