For TREE LOVERS of all ages!
April 1st is a perfect day to learn about and honor Dr. Wangari Maathai.
It’s her birthdate…. starting of the month of Earth Day!
She is soooooo important to our world, even if you have never heard of her before.
Ethical hero, Eco-Peace Innovator, Scientist and Activist, leader of the GREENBELT MOVEMENT, and: Nobel Peace Recipient (2004).
Her Nobel Prize is particularly significant…
because this was the first time THE EARTH was acknowledged as a fundamental aspect of HUMAN PEACE WORK.
Her work of connecting us ALL to the green vision we now speak casually about, is powerful and important. Learn more about her, create and share a TREE-VOICE in her honor…. do EARTH WORK.
