“The generation that destroys the environment is not the generation that pays the price. That is the problem.”
Wangari Maathai

Wangari Maathai
“Finally I was able to see that if I had a contribution I wanted to make, I must do it, despite what others said. That I was OK the way I was. That it was all right to be strong.”
Wangari Maathai

Tanya Talaga
“In Ojibwe and Cree culture, leadership didn't mean power; it meant caring.”
Tanya Talaga, All Our Relations US Edition: Finding the Path Forward

Wangari Maathai
“There are opportunities even in the most difficult moments.”
Wangari Maathai, Unbowed

Wangari Maathai
“Education, if it means anything, should not take people away from the land, but instill in them even more respect for it, because educated people are in a position to understand what is being lost. The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it. As I told the foresters, and the women, you don't need a diploma to plant a tree.”
Wangari Maathai, Unbowed
