Before Al Gore's Global Warming there was in 1992 a 12-year old girl named Severn Cullis-Suzuki who "silenced the world in 6 minutes" with her remarkable speech at the Earth Summit in Rio. This is Severn's speech at the Univ of BC in Canada on October 2008.

  • She deserves much more publicity, for her heart and passion for what she believes in. I believe we can change this world and we MUST do this together. Come together everyone and understand what we must do. Please, don't give up on our home and please give everyone else the knowledge that you possess.

  • The eco philosophy is getting more and more wide-spread, people who once get reached stay in this for good. This is why it's crucial to show on your example how efortless it is to respect small everyday steps that help the environment AND THUS OUR & FUTURE GENERATIONS' FUTURE. Stay loyal to what you believe in and help spread awareness so that the tiny actions will become as common and popular as to actually make a change. Btw, it's former forget-the-environment speaking...

  • @macapagalfarm The unity of the corporations' leaders along with the governments. The world citizens clearly outnumber them though!

  • she is spectacular. so now she is 28.. wow. she was only a little girl. im impressed.

  • @PaganBorn79 I lol'ed reading your response for @froomb

    He needs to learn proper English before insulting anyone else--

  • shes 28? wow

  • Who on earth would even think of disliking this video or Ms. Suzuki?

  • We are such a small number that watch her... where the heck is the rest of the world?

    Doesn't anyone care? Is it all money quick gratification and the imagined death is Heavan, because we gave to a charity?

    I just do not get it, why so few us live our lives fighting save the planet while others consume.

  • @Showakusai

    Yes, I agree. She deserves much more.

  • when you were 12 you spoke as a child and touched everyone with your directness and simplicity. keep that simplicity and openess that you spoke with... because I am not sure here who you are speaking to.. i am in the middle east at present and the pollution, garbage, plastic usage is out of control. There is no concern whatsoever for the environment in these countries
