-'''Billie: It's truly impressive when individuals possess the ability to connect people, especially considering your status as a celebrity veterinarian and animal advocate. Connecting people is essential because everyone should be aware of what they believe in. Now, let's delve into the topic of how people can actually get started in this field. I'd like to explore your book, "Be More Mosquito," which I find to be absolutely fantastic. It provides readers with valuable insights into what they can do and the realities they may encounter. The beauty of the book lies in its flexibility and lack of strict structure, enabling readers to grasp the possibilities, be creative, imaginative, and innovative. Could you please share with us some details about your book?'''

-Marc: Thank you. Writing the book was a necessity for me. After campaigning for 10 years, I accumulated a wealth of knowledge that I wanted to share with others. I learned through firsthand experience, not knowing what I was doing initially but persevering nonetheless. It was crucial for me to put it all on paper so that people could pick it up and take action themselves. The book is titled "Be More Mosquito," inspired by the Dalai Lama's quote: "If you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito." The hashtag in the title makes it unique, encouraging imaginative and out-of-the-box thinking, which is vital for grassroots campaigning to gain attention.

 Each chapter in the book represents a tool that is freely available and accessible to everyone. These tools empower individuals to raise awareness, change public behavior, and influence legislation, as we did with [[Lucy's Law]]—achieving all three objectives. It's a book that embodies the belief that anything is possible when there are no excuses. My hope is that it inspires people to care deeply about something and take action. Starting your own campaign, joining an existing one, having conversations, and collaborating with like-minded individuals are all viable paths. The book provides the necessary tools to do something, even if it's as simple as retweeting a message while sitting on the toilet. Instead of indulging in blame culture and pointless moaning, it's important to channel that energy into productive campaigning. You never know where it might lead. I never anticipated that my efforts would result in changing laws, running a parliamentary group for dog welfare, or influencing other legislation. It completely transformed my life.
