Encouraging

I really enjoyed listen to her testimony and how to help the environment. I was sad to learn she passed in 2011,because I really would have loved to meet her.

Loved it!

Enjoyed hearing Dr. Wangari Maathai tell her story on the world stage and finally get recognized for her efforts after having witnessed her work in Kenya through the years. Her take aways at the end: determination, persistence, and patience describe her experience perfectly.

Absolutely enchanting. So much positivity!

Whether you're environmentally minded or not, this interview is insightful, charming, humble and so very positive in what can be an incredibly depressing world.

Please spend this tiny amount of time and enrich your lives with the wit and wonder of this fantastic woman. What I would have given to meet her.
