Wangari Maathai says:
On the PBS NewsHour show, Kenyan environmentalist Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize, was asked:
“What’s the connection between the environment and peace?”
Maathai answered:
“When you look at the world, what do people fight over? They are fighting over water. They are fighting over land. They are fighting over grazing ground, farming land. They are fighting over resources. And so managing these resources, which are limited on this planet, is very, very important. Sharing them equitably, at the national level especially, is very important.”
