English term or phrase: The ripple effet
Bonjour,
Pourriez m'aider à traduire " the ripple effect" autrement que par "l'effet de vague" qui ne me semble pas approprié en français ni par "ricochet "dont le sens me semble différent. La phrase est la suivante"The ripple effect potential of greening up people and communities by greening up school grounds suddenly makes turning things around seem possible.
