Maathai received the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for her Green Belt Movement. This remarkable organization, which she founded in 1977, aimed to lessen environmental degradation. Following the movement, Kenyan villagers, mostly women, planted more than 35 million trees restoring ecosystems that were thought to be gone forever. In the interview, Maathai encourages us to understand that we are a part of nature and not separate from it. By not honoring our place, we are undermining our own ability to survive. Bill also asked Maathai what can we do to follow in her footsteps no matter what community we live in. Learn from her responses on Sea Change Radio.
