Roots & Shoots State Home
"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 & Shoots, hundreds and thousands of young
people around the world, can break through these walls.
You can change the world."
--Jane Goodall
