146. Together We Can Change the World with Jane Goodall

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What do you get when you swap the office for a classroom and our hosts for school pupils? An incredibly special episode, we hope you’ll agree.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, that’s right – this week’s conversation is brought to you from Totnes Progressive School, where the children were joined by an extraordinary guest: Dr Jane Goodall DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and United Nations Messenger of Peace.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the support of Outrage + Optimism’s Tom Rivett-Carnac and his sister Bee, who together wrote and illustrated</span> <a href= "https://www.globaloptimism.com/when-we-all-stopped"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">a children’s book</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">voiced by Dr Goodall, the pupils take it in turns to ask about their guest’s experiences, work, and thoughts on the future.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From Dr Goodall’s memories of her own childhood to reflections on what children now can do to help in healing our planet, this is a moving lens on a remarkable life spanning nearly nine decades. Dr Goodall shares lessons from her mother about working hard and not giving up on dreams, as well as how together we can – and will – change the world.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We hope you find this conversation as inspirational as we do.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christiana + Tom’s book</span> <a href= "https://globaloptimism.com/the-future-we-choose/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">‘The Future We Choose’</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">is available now!</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.outrageandoptimism.org/#join"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Subscribe to our Climate Action Newsletter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">M
