Want to know me a little bit better, so take a few minutes to watch the video of one of my great heroes, a young Lady Severn Suzuki, who impressed me immensely with her important message. I hope you enjoy and reflect on her words.

About this video:
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 year old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation in many places.
