Day #10 Severn Suzuki spoke before to the UN in 1992 as the spokesperson for a group of 12 and 13 year olds concerned with the environment and the way the world was being run at that time. Her words still ring true. You may go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWxjzazIPjU and listen to this well spoken young women plead with adults running the world to think of the children, to think of the planet.
Her story does not end there. Ms.Cullis-Suzuki (she is now married and 31 years of age) continues on with her passion to save the environment. With a B.S,in ecology from Yale she started a think tank called The Skyfish Project which brought their first project the World Summit on Sustainability.
Severn's passion did not dry up but rather has continued to grow as she returned to graduate school to study enthnobotany.
This young woman, who wrote a book called "Tell The World" at the age of 13 is an individual who found her dream, her contribution early in life and continues to take action.
Her Action: She has the gift of inspiration. Do yourself a favor and watch her many videos, read her book. Join her cause.
