Biotechnology - High Tech High
Student Activities - ROOTS AND SHOOTS
HTH Roots and Shoots representatives Amber Moore and Sean Nunley, meet with Dr. Goodall.
The thing I remember most about my high school biology class is watching the nature documentaries of Jane Goodall and her chimpanzee friends at Gombe. Later in life, I was able to hear Dr. Goodall speak at USC, meet her and correspond with her. She is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. She also is the greatest champion for environmental concerns and one who believes that solutions will be realized for the environmental problems that exist today.

I share her vision - our youth hold the solutions. This is why we have joined the Roots and Shoots program with the Jane Goodall Institute. Stay tuned for our upcoming activities......

"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 of thousands of roots & shoots, hundreds of thousands of young people around the world, can break through these walls. We CAN change the world."

— Dr. Jane Goodall
