Tonight I attended Lecture at the Seattle Town Hall by John and Teresa Heinz Kerry promoting their new book together "This Moment on Earth". The lecture was quite good, John Kerry's component was a bit too political for me but he did make some good points. Teresa Heinz Kerry on the other hand had several interesting contributions, particularly regarding her chapter of the book on toxins in the environment. I can't wait to read the book. Also, during the Q&A section, I got up the gumption to ask them a question. I started by congratulating Mrs. Heinz Kerry on being on the SSF Best Dressed Environmental List for the 2nd year in a row and then asked if felt that all the attention global warming is getting, along with all the magazine issues these days has moved environmental issues out of the margin and into the mainstream, or if she feels we still need to do more. She had a great response, basically saying a lot has happened for the better but there are still things to be done. I continue to be really impressed with these two. More when I finish the book.
