The Girl Who Silenced the World at the UN

[link to www.youtube.com]


Born and raised in Vancouver, Severn Suzuki has been working on environmental and social justice issues since kindergarten. At age 9, she and some friends started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They traveled to 1992's UN Earth Summit, where 12 year-old Severn gave this powerful speech that deeply affected (and silenced) some of the most prominent world leaders. The speech had such an impact that she has become a frequent invitee to many U.N. conferences.

It's too bad, by the looks of the assembly, that many if not most of the delegate seats were empty.

I guess most were off bathing in the oil & money spa in the next building once they heard the child was there to speak and not to.......well you can figure it out.

Point? I've seen younger and more powerful speakers than this.
Read - for thy sustainer is the most bountiful one, who has taught the use of the pen, taught man what he did not know!
Nay verily man becomes grossly overweening, whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient: for behold unto thy sustainer all must return.

Severn Cullis-Suzuki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Severn Cullis-Suzuki speaking at the University of Alberta Myer Horowitz Theatre, as part of the 2006 Revolutionary Speakers Series.
Severn Cullis-Suzuki (born 1979) is an environmental activist, speaker, television host and author. Born to writer Tara Elizabeth Cullis and Canadian geneticist and environmental activist David Suzuki, Cullis-Suzuki received a B.Sc. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Yale University in 2002. She has spoken around the world about environmental issues, urging listeners to define their values, act with the future in mind, and take individual responsibility.[1]
In 1992, at the age of 12, Cullis-Suzuki raised money with members of ECO, the Environmental Children's Organization (a group she founded) to attend the Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro. Along with group members Michelle Quigg, Vanessa Suttie, and Morgan Geisler, Severn presented environmental issues from a youth perspective at the Summit, where she received a standing ovation for a speech to the delegates.[2][3] The group also addressed delegates at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED).
In early 2002, Cullis-Suzuki helped launch an Internet-based think tank called The Skyfish Project. As a member of Kofi Annan's Special Advisory Panel, she and members of the Skyfish Project brought their first project, a pledge called the "Recognition of Responsibility," to the UN World Summit in Johannesburg in August 2002. The Skyfish Project disbanded in 2006 as Cullis-Suzuki turned her focus back to school and entered into a graduate program in environmental sciences at the University of Victoria.
Cullis-Suzuki has hosted a number of television programs, including Suzuki's Nature Quest, a children's television series that aired on the Discovery Channel in 2002. In 1993, Doubleday published her book Tell the World (ISBN 0-385-25422-9), a 32-page book of environmental steps for families.
According to her father's 2006 book, The Autobiography, Cullis-Suzuki spent two years traveling after graduating from Yale University and then enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Victoria to study ethnobotany under Nancy Turner.

David Suzuki's Daughter whose father has two mansions, one made out entirely glass in British Columbia. Her father is host of the Canadian television show the Nature of Things, he's got stock in the Carbon Credit trading houses in Chicago. It's just plain old brainwashing, David Suzuki was a hack, second rate host until he jumped on the global warming band wagon living off of Canadian Gov't grants.

Hey, hey dooom ,dooom, give me more money to study the problem. Hey give me more money cause I'm a minority in Canada, give me special interest grants from the Canadian Taxpayers.

All crap, people, he is buddies with Muarice Strong.

Heck yeah,
I'd put just about any 'problem' to the mind and heart of innocence.
Adults always look like idiots when they make try to make deals, solve problems with their learned behavior & dogma.
I don't care what 'they' say, innocence can always be found again.
