Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a quote about women being the first victims of environmental degradation?

Is there a quote about weighing environmental awareness against other responsibilities?

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.
