So what the kids do depends, first of all, how old are they?

And we go now from preschool right through university.

It's going to depend whether they're in a city or rural.

It's going to depend if they're wealthy or impoverished.

It's going to depend which part, say, of America they're in.

We're in every state now, and the problems in Florida are different from the problems in New York.

It's going to depend on which country they're in.

And we're already in 60 plus countries with about 5,000 active groups.

Only there are groups all over the place that I keep hearing about that I've never even heard of because the kids are taking the program and spreading it themselves.

Why?

Because they're buying into it.

And they're the ones who get to decide what they're going to do.

It isn't something that their parents tell them or their teachers tell them.

That's effective.

But if they decide themselves, we want to clean this river and put the fish back that used to be there.

We want to clear away the toxic soil from this area and have an organic garden.

We want to go and spend time with the old people and hear their stories and record their oral histories.

We want to go and work in a dog shelter.

We want to learn about animals.

We want to, you know, it goes on and on.
