THE EARTH IN OUR HANDS

ROOTS AND SHOOTS PROGRAMME


"Hundreds of thousands of roots and shoots, hundreds of thousands of
young people around the world, can break through walls. We CAN change
the world."
Dr Jane Goodall (environmentalist, humanitarian and biologist)
How do plants grow?
In nature, the roots of a plant grow underground and cover a large area. This
way they keep the plant strong and healthy. Shoots are young plants that
have come up through the earth to find the sunlight that they need to survive.
Shoots may seem small and fragile, but they can break open brick walls.
Their strength is quite amazing.
What is Roots and Shoots?
Inspired by her belief that every individual can make a difference, Dr Jane
Goodall decided in 1991 to form a young peoples environmental group of 16
local schoolchildren in East Africa. Its name was Roots and Shoots and the
members organised recycling programmes and cleaned up local parks,
rivers and beaches. They also helped old people and the homeless in their
neighbourhood as well as protecting the natural habitat of local animals.
Today, Roots and Shoots has over 3,000 groups in more than 68 countries
worldwide which are actively involved in Dr Jane Goodalls projects.
How can you become a member of Roots and Shoots?
Any young person, between preschool and university, can join the Roots and
Shoots programme. If you want to start your own Roots and Shoots group,
simply find other young people in your neighbourhood who want to
participate, and an adult to be the group leader. Then, contact the Jane
Goodall Institute for a membership form.
Jane Goodalls Roots and Shoots programme is living proof that if we want
to make our world a better place for everyone, we just need to work together.
