Wangari Maathai on trees, justice, and power

It is the little things citizens do. That is what will make the difference. My little thing is planting trees.
Wangari Maathai[2][5]
You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that these resources are their own.
Wangari Maathai[5]
We are very fond of blaming the poor for destroying the environment. But often it is the powerful, including governments, that are responsible.
Wangari Maathai[1][2]
Human rights are not things that are put on the table for people to enjoy. These are things you fight for and then you protect.
Wangari Maathai[5][6]
Until you dig a hole, you plant a tree, you water it and make it survive, you haven't done a thing. You are just talking.
Wangari Maathai[2][5][6]
