Here's the youtube video that I found which presents a lot of information about the Green Belt Movement. The talk is given by the founder of this movement who is also the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. It's pretty incredible. The parts that I thought we could use for the class were between 6:10 "How do you solve the problems..." and about 10:10 "When they see a tree they see timber" - Javier
* Note from Rulan : This was the material that inspired the "Tree" improvisation we did last Thursday in the Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden
My favorite quote from her speech " What we need to do is to rehabilitate this environment - and immediately I thought of a tree"
