why all those seats were empty?

because they all knew but they dont know how to fix it.~



[kilroy238]

I wonder why all those seats were empty. Was she like the opening band at rock festival. I guess it was it to early and she was to unimportant for anyone to bother showing up for.

[182SheSaid]

video looks vintage. her words obviously didnt make a difference today.

[Kraskification]

If we cut all the worlds military budgets, we'd have 8 times more money than needed to feed the entire world. mhm

[nataliecat190]

Well I think it went for too long.

O.o

And doesn't this girl play Hermione Granger?

[davidstrong1000]

thisyoung girl is wise beyond her years. All the delagates should be readiong(manditory) CVonversations with god, books 1 ,2 and 3 as this is exactly what the message is. we are doomed if we do not change

A powerful, well-written, and well-received speech. This child obviously had practice in public speaking before and the speech was probably written by a well-educated adult and tailored for a child or young teenager. We need to give more opportunities for children and teenagers representing different countries to speak about their concerns to the UN!

[subashdai]

i pretty sure that speech was written by well educated person n who knows more than this lil cute girl. i just weird to hear this kids talkin big. i just love the speech but it was way beyond the reasonable doubt to believe that this was her own speech. respect dont get me wrong

[coolbeanz200]

I was so sad hearing this.

[maddalynn13]

She is so right. And this gig me thinking will my children get to see the animals I get to? Adults exc. Need to try to make a difference

[A3berkke]

Well presented but the demands were too general to be focused. Perhaps writer of this speech was a UN personnel because they always speak in similar fashion.

:'( OhMyGoodness

[lynnedjones]

what a wonderful young adult...everybody should listen to this

[MalditoSoy13]

I think everyone thinks or has thought like this at one time........then we were brainwashed.....

illumanati....learn about it

[kapannier]

"what you do makes me cry at night". That takes guts to say, wow I listened to this and was amazed by the direct, eloquent way that Severn addressed the UN. Thumbs up for her courage to say what needs to be said, still relevant and powerful even a decade later.

[XLiezlX]

And just what has the world leaders changed to make this world a better place ... NOTHING!

[bhaal07]

Good.

[aurorasgarden]

Sounds like she fed them a plateful of their asses...in a peaceful way.

[belindaesq]

I am so ashamed of our country. This child sees so clearly what needs to happen and yet we vote for war and business as usual as the military industrial complex benefits by robbing our children of their future. EVERY American needs to see this and really listen!!! If you care about the future of the planet, send this to 10 people and ask them to do the same.

[Ahollamockee]

1992 - 2008 just goes to show nobody cares lol yeah u can have great ppl with great speeches or great ppl that do great things. LOL and things might change for a while but not for long everything returns to its normal state and gets even worse. Nothing will change unless we find our selves in a devestating situation where we "NEED" to do something about it. LOL until then recycle for a week after watching this then go back to your old ways EL O EL

[TerrorsmHsNoReligion]

what a pity but thats true :( ...

[2lipsali]

I am pleased to see that the younger generation not only have heart but the brain and the guts to speak out. Thank you from all those who cannot speak their minds freely as you have.

[stiltzca33]

The brilliant message of this little girl is no surprise as she is the daughter of one of the biggest environmental activists in the world, David Suzuki. The man is brilliant so it only stands to reason that his daughter is following in his foot steps!

[Tcapa]

A brilliant young woman. A poignant message despite, or perhaps all-the-more because of, all those the empty seats...

Thank you for putting this online.

[Kolina44]

She is saying what the hole world is thinking, but only thinking without doing something!

[sarsar53]

When was this recorded?

[mosni]

That was at the Rio de Janeiro Earth summit in 1992.
