Fernanda — It’s a small blogosphere. 😉 Happy to know you.
Kendra — Yes, I have spent quite a bit of time with Jane and the R&S crew. I’d definitely recommend to anyone interested in activism and community to start a R&S group and read about what all the other groups are doing. It’s very inspirational.
Max – A great article and very interesting, thanks.
Gavin – Good to put a voice to the face, sounds like you’re doing superb work 🙂
Gavin, you have a great voice. I LOOVE Jane Goodall Institute! Did you get to hang with Jane? She’s like the female version of Mister Rogers, only she speaks for the chimps instead of kids.
So cool you were a part of Roots and Shoots!
Hello Gavin:
I’m a Green Options newsletter member/fan and this morning I happened to read this article about you. Your name sounded quite familiar to me…and after much thought – I realized I knew your name from the StumbleUpon website…where I found you tagged my online eco-friendly baby boutique as one of your favorite green sites !!
I was very excited to see that earth-savvy and knowledgeable green-minded people like yourself would find my website to be worth recommending.
Thanks for all the work you do (here & abroad), and teaching people how easy it is to GO GREEN !
Regards,
