Rigoberta Menchú : The Time of No Time : TreeHugger

Menchú focused on something different, and vital, to our struggle to reduce our impact on the Earth. Menchú said that in the Mayan calendar, this was a special day of spirituality. And it occurs in a time that they are calling The Time of No Time.

... Menchu said that the solution to our survival lies in our cooperative nature. A focus on nature will come with a focus on one another and the common good we must achieve. Fixing the planet goes hand in hand with fixing ourselves.

"What do we do in the face of these problems? We have to increase our self-esteem. Young people have to grow with self-esteem ...strengthening their knowledge, both on the material world and the spiritual one. When I speak about spirituality I am not speaking of religion. Religions have their problems in these times as well. I’m talking about cultivating values – cultivating values of co-existence, cultivating values of respect because we have lost respect so much."
