TAKING ROOT: THE VISION OF WANGARI MAATHAI
Taking Root tells the dramatic story of Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai whose simple act of planting trees grew into a nationwide movement to safeguard the environment, protect human rights, and defend democracy; a movement for which this charismatic woman became an iconic inspiration.

News Flash!!! Trees plant themselves! It may be hard to believe but the environment doesn't need liberals to grow trees!!
This is true, I kill several hundred trees in my yard every year.
You and others like you mock much of what I believe in every day, so whats your point?
This movie sounds great. I will be there. This is very timely because Treez Please will be doing a tree planting on Midlothian Saturday, October 31st at 8am. We will be planting about 20 trees and can use all the help we can get. Anyone who belongs to the Timebank will get credit for their time involved.
The trees will be planted on private property between LeMoyne and Sheridan Boulevard. Crickets Restaurant and Bar will receive 3 trees, too, and will also be offering lunch and drink specials in honor of the occasion 8).
OK - I wanted to go to this event :) however I could NOT make it :( so PLEASE can any one tell us about it ??? 8)
THANK YOU in advance :-*
