orchid tree, bougainvillea, bird of paradise, and many other exotic plants now common in local gardens and streets. She also inspired local schoolchildren to help plant trees, but planting alone was not enough—the new young plants had to be carefully nurtured to survive

Point 1: Kate Sessions, who had a strong interest in plants even as a child, is best known as the “Mother of Balboa Park” but it might be more accurate to designate her as the female “Johnny Appleseed” of San Diego. ... She was instrumental in the planning and planting of Palm Canyon and the Aloe and Agave Garden

Point 2: Kate Sessions brought several rare and endangered species to our area that have managed to survive, such as rare palms from Baja California. These palms she acquired by digging up a few plants herself on a trip to Cabo San Lucas in 1902. She was also responsible for the planting of the enormously tall Guadalupe cypress tree in Balboa Park near the Horseshoe Club. This very rare species is endemic to Guadalupe Island, Mexico, and has been threatened in the past by the voracious browsing of feral goats on the island.




Point 3:  She published articles in newspapers and in California Garden, the publication of the San Diego Floral Association, which Miss Sessions helped to found in 1906. Appointed supervisor of agriculture and landscaper for the city schools in 1915, she taught horticulture and botany to the schoolchildren and supervised their school gardens traveling from one school to another during the year.

Point 1: While working with the National Council of Women of Kenya, Maathai developed the idea that village women could improve the environment by planting trees to provide a fuel source and to slow the processes of deforestation and desertification.

Point 2:  She was the first female professor ever in her home country of Kenya




Point 3: Wangari Maathai was the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. She was also the first female scholar from East and Central Africa to take a doctorate (in biology), and the first female professor ever in her home country of Kenya

Point 2: Her book, Silent Spring (1962), became one of the most influential books in the modern environmental movement and provided the impetus for tighter control of pesticides, including DDT

 

Point 3: She challenged the use of man-made chemicals, and her research led to the nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides.

 

Point 2: Jane was Recognized for her groundbreaking discoveries about the chimpanzee’s behavior – she discovered that chimpanzees make tools, eat and hunt for meat, and have similar social behavior to humans – she completely transformed our understanding of our closest relative in the animal kingdom.





Point 3:  Jane Goodall is considered a hero because she cares a lot about wildlife even when she was a little girl.

Point 2: The women continued with their tiny business, now also making shoulder bags and cosmetic purses from plarn. Many of them were earning money for the first time, and they were able to use it to buy food to help their families through the ‘hungry gap’ – the three months in the year when there were few crops from their farmland. Their husbands noticed how their family’s lives were improving and encouraged their wives in their purse-making. The women no longer worked in secret, and soon others joined them. Within a year, Isatou’s community recycling project had grown to 50 women and she named it the N’jau Recycling and Income Generation Group (NRIGG).







Point 3: Women in N’jau were now able to save some money, and Isatou helped them to open their own bank accounts. With their savings, many of the women could afford to support their families in ways that would have been impossible before. Their daughters could continue into secondary school and they could pay for medical treatment when they needed it. The women helped their community, too, each contributing some of their earnings to start a community garden to grow vegetables, and to help pay for orphans to go to school.

Point 2: Simpson really made her mark in meteorology in the late 1950s, when she and her former professor, Herbert Riehl came up with an explanation of how the atmosphere moved heat and moisture away from the tropics to higher latitudes. That explanation included the "hot tower" hypothesis that later shed light on hurricane behavior.

Point 3: In 1986, NASA asked Joanne to lead the science study for the proposed Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), a satellite to carry both active and passive microwave instruments to accurately measure rainfall across the tropics and subtropics. TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and JAXA, Japan’s Aerospace Exploration Agency.

:Many cars give out pollution in the air and its about time someone had dealed with it

:We should stop pollution because the environment is getting hurt a lot because of this

:Tree help the atmosphere so people should stop cutting them.
