    Women will save the world. Women, on the whole, are invested in the future for our children. Women, on the whole, are about life, and not about padding a bank account no matter the risk to others. God Bless everyone working to regreen our world.

    Thank you for this beautiful talk.
    I was lucky to be a community fair trade rep for The Body Shop, and so learned of the wonderful (social and re-greening) projects across Africa and the other continents/countries that they partner with. Moringa is a wonderful ingredient as well as being a drought-resistant tree, and the land underneath them can be used for food crops too. Then there’s the shea farmers, and tea tree oil producers, who are investing in the planet AND earning a living for themselves at the same time. I really hope people keep investing in the amazing work that all of you do ????????????

      I do not know what country you are in but in the US we have the Wild Ones and Prairie Restoration. They are both groups of regular people that remove invasive species and plant native trees. shrubs and plants to restore our ecosystems. I urge you to look them up and join if you are in the US or better yet ask both groups for help in starting your own group. There are so many like minded people! You will also make so many new friends.

    Great talk. I always wondered how Wangaari Mathai’s greenbelt movement had fared after her death. So happy for her daughter here! Thank for this hope.
