“We have to work out a new relationship with the natural world.” - Jane Goodall - Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace
We are honored to welcome a very special person to our latest edition of Greiner Talks. Jane Goodall is an icon of behavioral science and anthropology. She is a tireless environmental activist, UN Messenger of Peace and founder of the Jane Goodall Institute. Her life and career are extraordinary. Her research on chimpanzees in the jungle of Tanzania in the 1960s fundamentally changed our understanding of human evolution. She was the first person to recognize that not only humans but also animals make and use tools. For decades, Jane Goodall has been an unstoppable defender and advocate for our planet and its wildlife.
Listen in and learn how Jane Goodall has perceived the boom of plastics in the 1960s, why she has decided to speak on our sustainability podcast, and what message she sends to Greiner CEO Axel Kühner. Jane Goodall highlights the power of consumers and describes in an incomparable way what impact each one of us makes every single day of our lives. She relentlessly explains how the pandemic is connected to our own actions, why a new contract between humans and the environment is urgently needed, and how she remains hopeful.
