"As women and men continue this work of clothing this naked Earth, we are in the company of many others throughout the world who care deeply for this blue planet. We have nowhere else to go. Those of us who witness the degraded state of the environment and the suffering that comes with it cannot afford to be complacent. We continue to be restless. If we really carry the burden, we are driven to action. We cannot tire or give up. We owe it to the present and future generations of all species to rise up and walk !" - Unbowed by Wangari Maathai 🌳🌎✨🌳🌎✨ reflecting on the legacy of this amazing earth warrior goddess queen, founder of the Green Belt Movement, an organization that planted 40 million trees across Kenya, Nobel peace prize winning environmental justice activist and educator. As I witness the world being devastated by hurricanes, fire and flood the likes of which we've never seen, I shudder at the thought some people still think climate change isn't a real thing. 😒😒 We are here to love and protect the planet, not use and abuse it. We need her, she doesn't need us. it's past time for change!! 🌎✨🌎✨🌎
