Question

Add two pieces of evidence from the Nobel Prize lecture “from "Wangari Maathai's Nobel Lecture” that you plan to use in your letter to your local government in which you argue that an organization like the Green Belt Movement should be started in your area. (2 points)

Explain why you chose these quotes (2 points)

Answer 1

1. "The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves."

2. "Acts of violence against the earth should be collectively condemned, with energy and commitment."

I chose these quotes because they emphasize the importance of standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves, as well as the collective responsibility to protect the environment from harm. By incorporating these ideas into my letter to the local government, I can make a compelling argument for the establishment of an organization like the Green Belt Movement in our area to address environmental issues and advocate for sustainable practices.
