Every One Of Us Can Make A

One Of The Reasons Why We Started The Green Belt Movement Is To Work With These Ordinary Peasant Farmers So As To Educate Them That, Despite The Fact That They Are Poor, It Is In Their Interest To Protect The Soil That They Have, To Protect The Forest They Have, To Protect The Land That They Have, Because If They Don't Do It, Things Can Be Only Worse Tomorrow For Them For Them And For Their Children.

The American Government Has Spent A Lot Of Money Trying To Reclaim, For Example, The Everglades, And To Allow The Natural Vegetation At The Coastal Areas To Be Restored Because That Was Part Of The Vegetation That Actually Protected The Hinterlands.

All Through The Ages The African People Have Made Efforts To Deliver Themselves From Oppressive Forces.

It Is Very Important For Young People Not To Be Afraid Of Engaging In Areas That Are Not Common To The Youth. Get Involved In Local Activities, Get Involved In Local Initiatives, Be Involved In Leadership Positions Because You Can’t Learn Unless You Are Involved. And If You Make Mistakes That Is Alright Too Because We All Make Mistakes And We Learn From Those Mistakes. You Gain Confidence From Learning, Failing And Rising Again.

I Would Like To Call On Young People To Commit Themselves To Activities That Contribute Toward Achieving Their Long-term Dreams. They Have The Energy And Creativity To Shape A Sustainable Future. To The Young People I Say, You Are A Gift To Your Communities And Indeed The World. You Are Our Hope And Our Future.
