You Cannot Protect The Environment Unless You

I Learned In America A Long Time Ago, The Three R's, The Principle Of Three R's - Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. And As I Say Those Words, There Are So Many Things Individually We Can Do To Reduce - We Don't Need To Consume As Much As We Are Consuming. Reduce. And By Reusing, We Can Reuse A Lot Of Things We Just Throw Into The Dumpsite. And Reduce The Production. The More We Reuse, The More We Can Reduce.

In Kenya Women Are The First Victims Of Environmental Degradation, Because They Are The Ones Who Walk For Hours Looking For Water, Who Fetch Firewood, Who Provide Food For Their Families.

For Me, One Of The Major Reasons To Move Beyond Just The Planting Of Trees Was That I Have Tendency To Look At The Causes Of A Problem. We Often Preoccupy Ourselves With The Symptoms, Whereas If We Went To The Root Cause Of The Problems, We Would Be Able To Overcome The Problems Once And For All.

Education Of Course Is A Very Empowering Experience, So Many People Who Went To School Also Managed To Improve Their Quality Of Life Much Faster Because They Could Get A Job, They Could Get Money, And With Money You Could Buy Things That You Cannot Buy If You Don't Have Money.

When Resources Are Degraded, We Start Competing For Them, Whether It Is At The Local Level In Kenya, Where We Had Tribal Clashes Over Land And Water, Or At The Global Level, Where We Are Fighting Over Water, Oil, And Minerals. So One Way To Promote Peace Is To Promote Sustainable Management And Equitable Distribution Of Resources.
