Early Activism
Roddick's early activism included talks, fundraisers and projects worldwide. She has given talks around North America on saving the rainforests, helped establish a Romanian orphanage project, worked on alternative economic systems for a Canadian International Development Agency and lectured at the Canadian-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce. In addition, she set up Cockroach youth magazine, raised funds and taught art at a Vancouver school.

Famous quotes containing the word early:
“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
