This is an invitation to "Declare Your Interdependence" and become a part of the movement of our time - the sustainability movement! This event begins now - http://www.interdependentproject.org

We are giving new meaning to the term "G" Force with the launch of the Interdependent Project's main web portal and on January 5th the launch of the Interdependent Project Radio - The Sustainable Matrix - a guaranteed "Fear Free Solution Sphere"!

This project began as a YV Dream and our team DID IT!

My Own Book is hosting a national 'Share the Joy of Reading' event for the month of February. We are encouraging adults and teens to buy their favorite children's book and read it to a child. In addition, we'd like them to give the book to the child. On our website at www.myownbook.net we will have a place for folks to share their experiences. We'll also be supplying bookplates to people so that they can personalize the books they give out.
