Severn-Suzuki
Severn Cullis-Suzuki was only 12 years old when she spoke before the UN earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. A child speaking before adults representing all the countries in the world – yet her speech was anything but childish. It was a galvanizing admonition and an appeal to everyone to help stop the destruction of the earth’s resources:
If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!
so that future generations, including hers, will still have a livable world to inherit:
Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come.
She spoke of deforestation, chemicals in the air, the waste and greed in our society, and the wanton destruction of animal and plant species that can never be brought back to life again.
Today, 17 years later, nothing much has changed, some problems are even more acute than they were two decades ago. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates that 40% of all organisms on the planet are now facing the risk of extinction. On the road to Copenhagen for the climate summit, very few countries are willing to make the commitment and sign a legally binding treaty to lower their greenhouse gas emissions significantly in the next few years.
What happened? I refuse to concede the argument to the skeptics who see the U.N. as a sham created by entrenched interests to give us all an illusion that something is being done and that things are changing. I believe there are enough of us who truly care about this planet, it’s time to make our voices heard and as Severn Suzuki said, to “make our actions consistent with our words.”
I’ve included in this post the full text of Severn Suzuki’s speech because it is such an important, hopeful document – a template for action to anyone who cares about the environment.
As always, your reactions and comments are welcome. Please help spread the word about the “girl who silenced the world.
