A 13-Year-Old Girl Speaks Up

15 years ago Severn Suzuki (daughter of geneticist and eco-activist David Suzuki) addressed the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Her simple, passionate speech touched everybody present and got her a standing ovation.

Severn is 28 now and continues her work as an environmental activist. But I wonder if she still cries at night seeing how little has changed...
