Severn Cullis-Suzuki speaking at
the University of Alberta Myer
Horowitz Theatre.

A 12 year old ordering UN delegates to stop their ignorance

Severn Suzuki, an environmental activist, speaker, television host and author, spoke in front of the UN during an Earth Summit in 1992 while she was just 12 years old. This has got to be the most amazing, saddening, yet strangely empowering video of someone speaking about environmental issues. Here is what Wikipedia says about Ms. Suzuki:

“Born in 1979 to writer and former Harvard University instructor Dr. Tara Elizabeth Cullis and famed Canadian geneticist and environmental activist Dr. 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.

In 1992, at the age of 12, Cullis-Suzuki raised money with some schoolmates to attend the Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro, where she received a standing ovation for a speech to the delegates.”

Here is a the video of her speaking in front of the delegates during the Earth Summit.

If that speech doesn’t make you want to cry, then stand up and say hell yes in the end. You are dead inside! So, what did you think?
