Severn Cullis Suzuki

Hey guys, It's me again! I know I am taking h-u-g-e breaks, but hopefully, I would post more recently during my summer break...
Today's objective is basically writing about my perspective on Severn Cullis's speech at the UN summit, in 1992.

Severn Cullis-Suzuki

-How she changed the world…

Severn Cullis, more commonly known as “The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes” first spoke at the age of 12, in 1992. The founder of ECO (Environmental Children’s Organization), along with other 12 and 13 year olds, spoke in the UN Peace Summit. She spoke about how she fears her future, about how she wakes up screaming, and sleeps crying. She spoke about how the privileged, let many die just because they refuse to share, even though they have more resources than they need. She spoke about how we are slowly killing and torturing our planet.

During that time, she conveyed the message of how from the inside, all the great world leaders, Politian’s, and businessmen are mother’s and father’s, brother’s and sister’s, and are all united humans. She communicated that the adults should come up with solutions, and gift a better and safer future for her generation and generations coming after. She fought for our right to survival, and how a life is not worth an election, or a few points of the stock market. All life is precious, and needs to be saved.

She spoke about how humans cannot fix things that our gone. I interpreted it as how not everything is a machine- It can’t be fixed. When we destroy our ozone, we can’t re-build it, when we kill an animal to extinction, we can’t nurse it back to life, when we lose all the humans, we can’t regrow them. When we can’t fix them, why should we break them?

I do believe that Severn Suzuki’s speech was very influential, and inspired our young minds as well as the adults seated. I agree with all of Severn’s points, and do believe that the world we all envision, should come true.

Although after what she said, I sadly do know that it made a little difference. The majority of the population remains ignorant, as if they don’t see the Earth dying in front of there eyes. They waste, destroy and remain oblivious to the fact that if humans continue on their current path, they will eventually destroy the Earth.

We all should step up and help is sustaining in preserving our world. We must Dream, Dare and Discover, and lead humans to a better path, a better world and a better life. We will build a safer future, for our generation, and other generations to come.
