But after I became more sensitized to the environmental and health implications of the nuclear system - I was being trained to be the first women in the fast-breeder reactor in India (and was in it when it first went critical) - I didn't feel comfortable with it. So I went into theoretical physics.
Vandana Shiva

It is from the Himalayan forests and ecosystems that I learned most of what I know about ecology.
Vandana Shiva

Vandana Shiva
Unless the poor of the world agitate for themselves to be heard, there will be no changes in their circumstances.
Vandana Shiva
