Severn Suzuki
An Unbelievable Speech!
Delivered by 12-yr old Severn Suzuki to the United Nations Earth Summit Rio Centro, Brazil
“Hello, I'm Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. – The Environmental Children's Organization.
We are a group of twelve and thirteen-year-olds from Canada trying to make a difference: Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We raised all the money ourselves to come six thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways.
Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future. 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.
I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.
