The issue of carbon is one area where we really need to work together and if people don't have the technology they need, that technology needs to be made available and affordable.

You can make a lot of speeches, but the real thing is when you dig a hole, plant a tree, give it water, and make it survive. That's what makes the difference

No matter who or where we are, or what our capabilities, we are called to do the best we can.

I have seen a lot of men, for example, who will make a will and include their daughters whether they are married or not. And perhaps the greatest change of attitude is that today, at least in Kenya, if you don't send your child to school - unless it's a matter of poverty or religion, and it is not that there no schools - then people wonder, "why the hell don't you send your children to school?" Now that's a very big jump from when I was going to school and educating girls was an exception to the rule.

Obviously the world is moving away from high carbon energy to low carbon energy, and eventually moving away toward renewable energy. So it is in the interest of Africa to move towards that, because that's where the world is moving.

It's the little things citizens do. That's what will make the difference. My little thing is planting trees.

We cannot tire or give up. We owe it to the present and future generations of all species to rise up and walk!
