Inada >> All of us(include me), in every country of the world, must try to help and save the rainforests.After Reading No.1: Here is an interview between Wangari Maathai and a reporter.
Reporter: What happened to the rainforests in Kenya? Wangari Maathai: Without the trees, we get less rain, and the weather gets hotter. Then life gets very difficult for the rainforest people.
Rep: And what changes has that made? WM: Once there were lots of rainforests, but now 90 per cent of them have gone.
Rep: So you decided to help them. What did you do? WM: I planted my first trees in 1977. That was the beginning of the Green Belt Movement.
Rep: What new things are you doing now? WM: Now I am starting some new coffee plantations. They use no chemicals, so they do not damage the forests.And tourists can come to spend their holidays with us, planting trees.
Rep: And how many has the movement planted now? WM: 30 million - and now other African countries have organizatiions like ours too.
Rep: Finally, you are a famous person now. What would you like to say to the people of the world? WM: I think that every body in the world must work to help the earth - every one of us.
This looks like a really interesting topic, and one I think we should all be concerned about. Did the book teach you anything you didn`t know before?
ReplyDeleteI changed the format of the interview (colour) to make it easier to read. hope you don`t mind?
