THE GIRL WHO SILENCED THE WORLD FOR SIX MINUTES

Recommended Posts

Amazing please share it with your kids.

 

This girl was raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. Her name is Severn Cullis-Suzuki. 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. Her father is also one of the leading environmental scientists in the world. His name is David Suzuki.

 

The sad thing is even after sixteen years later, we haven't accomplished alot, looks like most of what was said in 1992 fell on deaf ears.

Every one of us is on a transit visit into this world. Having no charm against death every one will definitely leave from this reality when the hour of death summons us! But what would be the condition of the world we leave behind for the next generation?
