This mindset wastes millions of gallons of water and creates mountains of trash. As Dr. Jane Goodall warns, if everyone thinks "it's just me", collective harm becomes devastating. To combat this, Goodall founded the institute Roots & Shoots in the 1990s. Inspired by her work with wild chimpanzees, this movement empowers youth worldwide to take action for nature. Its name symbolizes strength: roots build a firm foundation underground, while tender shoots break through brick walls to reach light. Every small act matters – making a dog wag its tail or watering a plant. All around the world, young people involve themselves in projects proving that individuals collectively create change. As Goodall says: "Every individual makes a difference."
