Severn Suzuki speaking at UN Earth Summit 1992


Raised 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.more information on http://...

Right, the UN are really big junkies, the people who want to make a difference in this world are actually messing it up. And I suppose you actually MADE A SPEECH IN FRONT OF AN ORGANIZATION WHO IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE A CHANGE before?
