Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. 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.

    That is that, what TuPac Shakur meant ! He rapped "Changes" over 10 Years ago! Nothing has been changed ! -There are over 10.000 Fans of 2Pac who are knowing what he has been rapped about. But absolutely nothing has CHANGED - we even only listening to his songs but we did not moved anything...

    Also Michael Jackson sang about it "Heal the World" or "They don't care about us" !

    These Singers aren't alive! So what will the future tell us?

    Why nothing has been changed?...

    Almost everyone in the comments cares about it. So why aren't we trying to make a difference? If everybody did small things to help everyday, we would get a better world step by step...

    This girl could have spoken today.. things haven't changed!

    Actually, that's untrue, they've only gotten worse. Greed. This world is run on greed.
