Panorama 2. Freerice.com. WRS Global Motion Trend. Peace Prize Winner: Wangari Maathai. JEFFREY BROWN: Thirty years ago, Wangari Maathai had a simple idea: To plant trees.
It was a response to a growing problem affecting the lives of the poor in her native Kenya and many other areas of Africa and the developing world: The destruction of forests, soil erosion, water shortages and other types of environmental degradation. Maathai had won a scholarship to attend college in the U.S. and earned a doctorate in biology in Kenya. In the ’70s, she founded the Green Belt Movement, working with mostly poor, rural women, who were given a small stipend to plant saplings of native species.
She frequently led fights against state-backed land development and government corruption, and was once called a “mad woman” by Daniel Arap Moi, who ruled Kenya for more than two decades. Several times, she was beaten or arrested. Rice: Race and poverty "a witch's brew" Asian Carp: "Oh crap, they hurt" on the Wabash River. Natural Selection - Natural Selection, Evolution, Mutation.
