This little girl is amazing, this was in 1992 and she speaks too much truth its unreal im glad that this little girl had the guts to spaek up like
she has !
aised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. When she was 9 she started the Environmental
Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were
successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind the
decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 yr old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a
powerful speech that received a standing ovation.
The sadness is a girl like this gets overlooked because she actually made too much sense.
She could have gave Obama a run for his money if allowed I am sure.
That is someone who is talking about REAL change and means it.
You are so right my friend, its a shame really that a little at that time seems miles more intelligent than most adults now. And yeah she would give
obama a run for his money anyday! its someone like her we need in charge, she could make a real difference to this world peace nad love mate x
Your very welcome Drums. Its a shame a young girl like this gets overlooked, mor than likely becuase shes young but what most people forget is that
the young mind is miles smarter than our older " educated " minds! peace x
Interesting. Why wasn't the ozone hole discussed in Copenhagen, or for that matter acid rain, which was the biggest environmental fear when I was
12?
And her biography in the OP makes no mention of the fact that she is the daughter of world famous environmentalist David Suzuki.
I guess that would get in the way of framing her as just some average kid who started her own grass roots campaign.
I'm all for addressing immediate environmental concerns,particularly pollution but nothing was addressed in Copenhagen except for co2 scare mongering
and profiteering.
