Jane Goodall, tree-kisser

I was just watching a video called "Reason for Hope" about Jane Goodall. I've probably posted a link to Goodall's essay, "My Four Reasons for Hope" at some point, although I can't recall if it was here or somewhere else. The video is quite interesting. I learned about the group "Roots and Shoots" that Jane Goodall founded to get young people involved in saving the planet. I also learned that Jane kisses each tree she plants (this picture is from the United Nations web site).



And here's an essay Jane Goodall wrote in 2002: You may be only 1 in 6 billion, but every person can make a big difference

Not feeling especially wordy or eloquent tonight, but I thought this stuff was neat and wanted to share.
