When resources are degraded, we start competing for them, whether it is at the local level in Kenya, where we had tribal clashes over land and water, or at the global level, where we are fighting over water, oil, and minerals. So one way to promote peace is to promote sustainable management and equitable distribution of resources.
Wangari Maathai Quotes
We are very fond of blaming the poor for destroying the environment. But often it is the powerful, including governments, that are responsible.
