A SELECTION OF QUOTES FROM OUT GENERATORS

“I am invigorated with new passion to do my best to reverse the damage we have caused our world - My experience in one word …EMPOWERED”

Loell – GG Generator 18 years

“When I first started with GLOBAL GENERATiON I didn't think I would be talking to people from Norway about environmental issues. It is really good.  I was worried about saying something silly but the teachers where all very friendly, It felt good afterwards, if we can engage and impress them and they are from a different country it should be easier to do the same for people who live in this country”.

Mariam – GG Generator 17 years

"GLOBAL GENERATiON has opened up so many opportunities for me both working with environmental issues and creative projects.  It was certainly the most beneficial and enjoyable project that I have done because it led me to meeting creative, interesting and inspirational people".

Ophelia – GG Generator 17 years

“I didn’t realise this kind of thing happens on top of buildings…it makes me think of all the things we could do in London”

 Amika – 12 years

"People don’t concentrate in school but out there while having fun and doing work we concentrate much better because we actually get to do the experiments".

Farah – 14 years

“This experience has given us the ability to step back and realise how materialistic our lives are – it has been refreshing, recharging and very fun”

Tariq - 17 years

"The Roof Garden provides a chance to truly escape from the confines of the office to a completely different, and healthier, environment. This is a facility that is already attracting tenants to the space, and the project is therefore acting as a positive  marketing and PR tool. It will also engender tenant loyalty".

Charlie Green - Director The Office Group

"I support this exciting project as a good example of how we should demonstrate the multiple benefits that living roofs offer to London, including their capacity to  raise knowledge and awareness"

Former Mayor - Ken Livingstone

The Office Group has previously given funds to charitable organisations, however, this is the first instance where there is tangible benefit for the company from doing so. It demonstrates that businesses can remain commercially focused whilst investing in the community.

Charlie Green - Director The Office Group

I think the enthusiasm of the Generators really came across when they spoke here, we have lots of people giving talks here, but they were a real breath of fresh air, and they got a round of applause, the only other person to have a round or applause after speaking here was Sir Paul Smith.

Stuart Robertson – Building Manager Wolff Olins

“What is particularly interesting is the way young people are working with business and the more they can the more we can create a sustainable model for the future”.

Alexis Rowell – Councillor LB Camden, Head of Sustainability

I would like to come back here and stay here in the summer holiday. I would like to stay longer. I had the most fun ever in my life. It is like being in my country - Bangladesh.

Robel – 14 years

I enjoyed seeing the animals and enjoyed the environment. I thought the camping was really good and going to the Permaculture Garden was fun. I liked Paul's food and all of the Global Generation staff who taught us new things. I liked it when we had to go up that big hill. I think that being in the countryside is really  exercising and I thought I got a lot of exercise out of this and eating the nice healthy food.

Daniel – 13 years

The whole idea of creating a garden I thought was a tremendous idea and getting involved in it was satisfying and I feel I will learn a lot and I am proud to be part of something environmental.

Emma – 14 years

I have come to realise how much difference only a few people can make, a big difference in an old garden area.
