Green is Good for All
Celebrate Earth Day and Jane’s 88th Birthday on April 3rd and All Month Long
On April 3rd, 2022 and all throughout April we celebrate Earth Day and the 88th birthday of Dr. Jane Goodall, a woman who for over 60 years has inspired and motivated millions of people around the globe to live in greater harmony with nature and to take action on behalf of the planet we share. Compelled by Dr. Goodall’s mission to live sustainably and with compassion, we look with new hope for a brighter, greener future. As Jane has shared, one of the most resilient and impressive forces on Earth is contained within the seeds of plant life, which can break through walls and always find a way.
In the fight against biodiversity loss and the Climate Crisis, restoration, regeneration, and protection of global forests are some of our greatest hopes. Join the #JanesGreenHope campaign to plant the seed of Jane’s dream for a greener world and help it bloom for generations to come.
