and share your thoughts

Severin Suzuki (ECO - Enviornmental Children's Organization)
Motivational speaker and Co-creator of the Skyfish Project

At 9 years old, Severin and some friends started the Environmental Children's Organization and raised enough money to go to the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. Severin, then 12 years old, gave a closing speech to the representatives from all over the world. Since then she has continued to encourage environmental and social action; the Skyfish Project, started in 2002, is Severin and her friends' most recent venture. As a part of Kofi Annan's Special Advisory Panel the Skyfish Project brought the Recognition of Responsibility, a pledge now signed by over 2700 youth, to the United Nations summit in Johannesburg.

Severin received the United Nations Environment Program 500 Award in 1993, has hosted many television programs and lectured around the world, and has been honoured and adopted by three British Columbia First Nations. Severin is 23 now, and she speaks at international conferences and meetings, encouraging young people to speak their mind and to act on a better future.


Some of the comments this video recieved on youtube:

Quote:
i can't stop crying. I feel every bit of truth in this brave girl's statement. I hope for all our sakes those who have the power will heed her warning to stop breaking what they can't fix.
We must protect Her and love Her unconditionally, She is our Mother Earth and we only have one Mother-revere Her and all Her children.
Quote:
She is so right. I had tears in my eyes just listening to her speak. I hope they listen.
Quote:
Every person with a heart needs to see this. A child's plea for a future. How can we get this video seen by one million people? Please help make this happen.
Quote:
A well thought out and written speech. I am awed by our children who bring it to us simple. She's right. A small pebble makes a big ripple in a pond. Let's do our small part to make a difference in the world. Ponder upon your own imprint you make for our future. Thank you Severn and friends for making that speech for the planet! I pray those who can make a difference, will.
I saw this video about 7-8 months ago & had this bookmarked. Today is World Environment Day. I thought this would be the best day to share this.
