All Of Us Have A God In

Once People See That You Improve You Life If You Are Educated, Then Education Becomes A Valuable Tool And People Want It.

One Of The Reasons Why We Started The Green Belt Movement Is To Work With These Ordinary Peasant Farmers So As To Educate Them That, Despite The Fact That They Are Poor, It Is In Their Interest To Protect The Soil That They Have, To Protect The Forest They Have, To Protect The Land That They Have, Because If They Don't Do It, Things Can Be Only Worse Tomorrow For Them For Them And For Their Children.

I Was Particularly Talking With Respect To Aid, Because That To Me Is One Area That Can Make People So Dependent, And Unfortunately, That Dependency Starts With The Government.

Using Trees As A Symbol Of Peace Is In Keeping With A Widespread African Tradition. For Example, The Elders Of The Kikuyu Carried A Staff From The Thigi Tree That, When Placed Between Two Disputing Sides, Caused Them To Stop Fighting And Seek Reconciliation. Many Communities In Africa Have These Traditions.

We Are Very Fond Of Blaming The Poor For Destroying The Environment. But Often It Is The Powerful, Including Governments, That Are Responsible.
