‘You get past setbacks by girding your loins, and by saying we will, together, overcome,’ says world-famous environmentalist
World-famous environmentalist Jane Goodall was in Sudbury May 30 for the launch of the IMAX film “Jane Goodall - Reasons for Hope” by local producer David Lickley.
Answering a question from a youth about why hope is important, Goodall said without hope, we become apathetic and do nothing. Sudbury.com asked Goodall how people can continue to hope when there are setbacks in environmental efforts around the world. Goodall said she “girded my loins and got out the begging bowl” and travelled the United States, and tried to convince donors “that just because of the kidnapping, that didn’t mean the end of everything.”“Finally, it got enough support to keep going,” Goodall said. “That was one setback. They’re happening all the time. So you get past setbacks by girding your loins, and by saying we will, together, overcome.
“And on my desk is a one-page description of the new environmental program called Environmental Solutions that is being put in front of the strategic plan as we speak,” Gunn said. “So thank you, Jane.”
