Today is Earth day and the US Embassy in Kenya celebrated by planting trees in Karura Forest with The Green Belt Movement and The Friends of Karura Forest.  It was also a day to celebrate Wangari Maathai’s legacy of taking care of the environment by fighting for the forest not to be turned into a stone forest of houses and infrastructure but to remain a green, beautiful place that supports the delicate ecosystem we live in.
