When she silenced the UN!!!!

When we all sit and think we could say this to our seniors our elder generation when we were kids or even now...she did it with ease, confidently and made the msg simple straight and clear to UN which went shocked and mute only to listen to her without any answer to rpely her back.

1992, "Earth Summit" UN a group of children made difference to that meet. Went on to become one those greatest moments where courage broke all barriers.

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 yr old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation.
