I got this from Jomar Hilario's Multiply. More thoughts on this later, but for now I'll let the speech speak for itself. Please pass this video on. Comment on it. Discuss it. In our fear, let us not be afraid of saying what we feel.

"Severn Cullis-Suzuki, now in her late 20s, started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO) when she was only 9-years-old. ECO was a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. In 1992 they raised their own money and attended the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. A then 12-year-old Severn closed a Plenary Session with this amazing speech that received a standing ovation. She received a lot of praise for her talk then—even Al Gore called it "the best speech at Rio."
