| "Roots creep underground everywhere and make a firm foundation. Shoots seem very weak, but to reach the light they can break open brick walls. Imagine that the brick walls are all the problems we have inflicted on our planet. Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots, hundreds and thousands of young people around the world, can break through these walls. |
| You CAN change the world." |

Roots & Shoots is the environmental and humanitarian programme for youth (preschool to university) of The Jane Goodall Institute. Their mission is:
1) To foster respect and compassion for all living things;
2) To promote understanding of all cultures and beliefs;
3) To inspire each individual to take action to make the
world a better place for animals, the environment and
the human community. |
