If you watch this it will really strike a cord of truth..i was speechless at how a child can speak more fact and from the heart in such a way that it shamed me to be part of our world, it is true we all could do more.

It's a young girl giving a speech to the UN about protecting the environment back in 1991.

It starts out seeming to be specifically about the environment, but it turns out to be about responsibility in general. Sharing, feeding the hungry, world peace, etc. It's a rant against greed, corruption, etc. She talks about how "you" teach "us" in kindergarten to share, not fight, work things out, etc, then "you" cause all this misery through greed and irresponsibility.

Good speech

Good post. So young to have the chance to have her voice heard on such a stage.
I wonder what path she has taken in life, as an adult.

No need to wonder:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severn_Cullis-Suzuki

No surprise, her dad was an environmental activist.



Cullis-Suzuki graduated from Yale University in 2002 with a B.Sc. in ecology and evolutionary biology.[2] After Yale, Cullis-Suzuki spent two years traveling. Cullis-Suzuki co-hosted Suzuki's Nature Quest, a children's television series that aired on the Discovery Channel in 2002.

In early 2002, she helped launch an Internet-based think tank called The Skyfish Project.[6][7] 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 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in August 2002.[2] The Skyfish Project disbanded in 2004 as Cullis-Suzuki turned her focus back to school and enrolled in a graduate course in the University of Victoria to study ethnobotany under Nancy Turner.[6]

The question is has anything really changed?

The world is probably equally if far more corrupt but environmentally there has been more of an effort since 1991.

Interesting! She is David Suzuki's daughter!
I am sure she will do great things in her life.
He is an environmental rock star over here!<3
