Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a quote about women being the first victims of environmental degradation?
Yes: "In Kenya women are the first victims of environmental degradation, because they are the ones who walk for hours looking for water, who fetch firewood, who provide food for their families."
Is there a quote about weighing environmental awareness against other responsibilities?
Yes, one wonders aloud whether it's their responsibility to spread "a message of environmental awareness or political awareness or just, like, don't be racist or whatever" - a candid, informal reflection on which causes to speak up for.
Is there a quote criticizing a U.S. president's environmental record?
Yes, one calls the issue likely to loom large in the 2008 U.S. election "largely in response to George Bush's suicidal refusal to engage with environmental issues." This is presented as that speaker's own political opinion, not a fact this page verifies.
Is there a quote from someone describing themselves as an environmental campaigner?
