Index_card_top This Quote Was Our Daily Quote On: 10/13/11
“Today we are faced with a challenge that calls for a shift in our thinking, so that humanity stops threatening its life-support system. We are called to assist the Earth to heal her wounds and in the process heal our own - indeed to embrace the whole of creation in all its diversity, beauty and wonder. Recognizing that sustainable development, democracy and peace are indivisible is an idea whose time has come.”
 
Wangari Maathai (1940-2011);
Founder Of The Green Belt Movement; First African Woman To Receive The Nobel Peace Prize.
