Severn Suzuki - Rio Earth Summit 1992

I received this video in an email today and although I've seen it a number of times before, I thought it was worth a posting on the Bloggopotamus. The video is the speech of Severn Suzuki, the daughter of Dr. Dave Suzuki, back in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit where she spoke to delegates from many of the United Nations countries gathered in Brazil. She was only 12 years old at the time. What a powerful and passionate speech!

Since then she has continued to be an incredible youth activist. For more information on Severn Suzuki...feel free to visit these sites as a starting point.
