Planting the Future

with Dr. Wangari Maathai

A Kenyan environmentalist and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Wangari Maathai founded a grassroots organization that empowers African women to improve their lives and conserve the environment through planting trees (30 million so far). She speaks with Krista Tippett (Speaking Of Faith) about the global balance of human and natural resources, and shares her thoughts on where God resides.

This is a powerful and moving story of how one person, working from her own heart and passion, can change the world.

Let the beauty we love be what we do
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground
