Vandana Shiva, Indian environmentalist

This 8 minute video was sent to me by a friend last December. It struck me so much at the time and I still feel it is something to pass along. Vandana Shiva is an important figure in India, a leader and environmentalist. She has undertaken concrete actions in India. Here, she is taking part in People Climate Forum, held in paralel with the Copenhagen Climate summit. She urges President Obama and other world leaders to make changes. She correctly points out to Mr. Obama that his promises for a greener planet had not been put forward at the summit. She says that he is captive of the White House, of industrial and corporative interests.
