Let us all, in all our diversity, start articulating the Laws of Mother Earth from each of our particular cultures. Let us tell our stories, so that this richer story shapes the future and not the narrow pathetic story of those who only know how to make money at the cost of everyone, declared Vandana Shiva. This was the resulting objective of a conversation between Vandana Shiva and five other Latin American women activists in a conversation titled \u201cEncuentro con Mujeres Latino Americanas\u201d.<\/p>\n
