Frick. How many 12 year old's have you seen with this much conviction and assertion? It almost makes me ashamed of my own youths, and the other youths I know. It makes us almost infantile, and even at this age, we are indifferent to the world around us, plagued, blinded even, by the rat-race of education and career.

Or is it that, when we were young, we were never taught that we could make a difference?

Severn Suzuki spoke at the the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, before the UN delegates. In 1993, she published her first book Tell the World, about environmental steps for families. In the same year, she was honoured in the United Nations Environment Programme's Global 500 Roll of Honour.

At age 22, she worked on Kofi Annan's Advisory Panel for the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa.


Oh, and a little extra knowledge for you History Students (;
