When You Know Who You Are You

Sometimes When I Talk To Little Children I Remind Them Of The Fact That When I Was Growing Up Myself, I Used To Play With Frog Eggs And Tadpoles And I Used To Walk In The Field, I Used To Literally Copy Whatever My Mother Was Doing On The Land. And That May Be The Reason Why I Eventually Developed The Passion For Green And For The Earth. So It Is Extremely Important For Adults And Especially Those Who Are In Charge Of Cities To Make Sure That We Do Not Lose Touch With The Land And With The Environment. And Especially Our Children.

I Think What The Nobel Committee Is Doing Is Going Beyond War And Looking At What Humanity Can Do To Prevent War. Sustainable Management Of Our Natural Resources Will Promote Peace.

The Issue Of Climate Change, It Really Does Bring Home The Fact That We Are On One Planet, And That Some Of The Impact Of What Human Beings Do In One Corner Of The World Is Going To Affect People In A Distant Corner Of The World. So We May Still Feel Very Far From Each Other, But We Are Really Very Close To Each Other Because Of The Changes We Have Made With Travel And Technology And Especially The Information Technology.

We Owe It To Ourselves And To The Next Generation To Conserve The Environment So That We Can Bequeath Our Children A Sustainable World That Benefits All.

I Want To Do The Right Things - I Want To Plant Trees, I Want To Make Sure That The Indigenous Forests Are Protected Because I Know, Whatever Happens, These Are The Forests That Contain Biodiversity, These Are The Forests That Help Us Retain Water When It Rains And Keep Our Rivers Flowing, These Are The Forests That Many Future Generations Will Need.
