I shall be speaking on Capital Hill on May 18 to a large audience of representatives, senators, and others on the subject, and also visiting Mr. Wolfensohn of the World Bank. I would urge people to join the Jane Goodall Institute or some other organization so that we can share information and tell people what to do. It's a program for youth in 40 countries. It began in Tanzania. The name is symbolic.
Roots make a firm foundation, shoots seem tiny but can break through brick walls to reach the light.
The message is full of hope. The brick walls are all the problems that we humans have inflicted on this poor old planet. But hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots, young people around the world, can break through. Every group tackles three projects to make the world around them a better place for the human community, for animals including domestic animals and for the environment that we all share. What they do depends on how old they are.
