Green Shoots or Yellow Weeds?

The grass sprouts all over the garden.

So I grow my own beansprouts.

And Roots and Shoots is a program for hope.

The idea is embryonic.

The Roots and Shoots groups all choose three projects.

In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

And these seeds will be able to germinate, we believe, with many of the species, in thousands of years, and certainly in hundreds of years.

It's pretty glum.

Catalyzing Consumption and Balancing Growth

And that enables us to develop germination protocols.

And the spores are germinating, and the mycelium forms and goes underground.

But that spring, there were new buds popping up from the earth.

So, there's no time for more Roots and Shoots now.

For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.

For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.

For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

That's kind of hypnotic.

The Microfinance Catalyst

But it can be catalytic. And if we fail to use it as catalytic, we would have failed.

Shoots seem tiny to reach the sun they can break through a brick wall.

It's called oxytocin.

First of all, oxytocin is a shy molecule.

The murmur of the brook lulls me to sleep.

Shoots seem tiny, but to reach the sun they can break through brick walls.

So, the Roots and Shoots program involves youth in three kinds of projects.

Anyway so basically, Roots and Shoots is beginning to change young people's lives.

And you can see, it's kind of pollinating, germinating, growing.

The EU s Kosovo Catalyst

We've got edible canal towpaths, and we've got sprouting cemeteries.

Well by measuring oxytocin we found that the more money the second person received, the more their brain produced oxytocin, and the more oxytocin on board, the more money they returned.

We're the saddest place on Earth, relative to GDP per capita the saddest place on Earth.

Paul Zak Trust, morality and oxytocin

yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.

Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.

Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.

She came up so excited, with her certificate. She was in Roots and Shoots.

So oxytocin connects us to other people.
