doctor Jane Goodall, known for her dedication to chimpanzee research and her role as an environmental activist, has been an important voice in the fight for sustainability and the use of renewable energy. In her talks and interviews, she highlights the urgent need for significant changes in our energy consumption habits and industry changes to protect the environment and ensure a healthy future for future generations.
Goodall argues that while humanity depends on non-renewable sources such as oil and coal to meet its energy needs, the planet is being destroyed at an alarming rate. She points to climate change, the mass extinction of species and the degradation of ecosystems as direct consequences of the excessive use of non-renewable energy. “If we want to build a better and healthier world for future generations, we urgently need to move away from non-renewable energy and make the transition to renewable energy. It is possible, and we need to act now.” says Jane Goodall.
The primatologist also states that the transition to renewable energies, such as wind, solar and hydroelectric power, is fundamental for the future of Earth and humanity. In addition to being clean and inexhaustible sources of energy, they also have the potential to generate jobs and help fight poverty around the world.
Goodall believes that it is possible to achieve a truly sustainable society, but that requires a significant change in the way we produce and consume energy. It encourages governments, businesses and individuals to take concrete steps to make renewable energy more affordable and to implement it on a large scale.
