Model Petra Nemcova Writes About Making A Difference
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 23rd, 2008 in Authors, Models.
Supermodel Petra Nemcova realized she could make a difference with the depleting fish population, so she turned vegan and told the world about it.
Once Can Make a Difference debuted in the bookstores a couple of weeks ago and it’s a great read that every vegetarian/vegan/celebrity lover should pick up. Amazon’s only a click away, so you don’t even have to leave your home to do so.
Ingrid Newkirk, President and Founder of PETA, has compiled essays from celebrities such as Willie Nelson, Petra Nemcova and Kevin Bacon as well as unknown individuals who are taking action in life to better the world. To introduce the essays, Ingrid writes a powerful and motivating statement:
By including both the “known” and the “unknown,” I hope this book illustrates (a) that even those we admire from afar invariably face obstacles and have to find ways to keep their belief alive and (b) that you don’t have to be a household name to make a difference, to become an example to others; you just need to have a conviction.
An example of such “unknown” acts include a college student who collects change between the furniture in the dorms and donates the money to charity.
So put this on your holiday shopping lists everyone. If we go out and buy One Can Make a Difference the day after Thanksgiving, we’ll turn Black Friday into a greener one.
