Wangari Maathai wanted a green environment. She gave her life for green land. I think they should not have taken her land for construction. People should not fight her. They should join her. They should plant a special tree and name it Wangari in her honor.

Wangari Maathai was an inspiration for speaking up for others. She spoke up for her people and she spoke up for the environment. She loved nature and she gave her life to protect nature.
