Girl who silenced the world!!
Amaging video:
hello i m seven suzuki speaking from ECO ( the environmental childrens organisation). we are group of twelve and thirteen year old's trying to make a diference.we raised all the to come here to come 5000 miles to tell you that you must change your ways. Coming up here today i have no hidden agenda, i m fighting for my future. Losing my future is not like losing an election or few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come, i m here to speak on behalf of starving children around the world whose cries go unheard, i am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have no where left to go. I am afraid to go out in the sun now, coz of the holes in our ozone. I m afraid to breathe the air coz i dont kno what chemicals are there in it. i used to go fishing in vancoover, my home town with my dad until jus a few years ago we found a fish full of cancers. And now we hear animals and plants go extinct every day, vanishing for ever. In my life i have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rain forests, full of birds and butterflies and now wonder if they will even exist for my children to see. Did u have to worry abt these things when you were a child of my age?? All this is happening before our eyes and yet we dont act as if we have all the time we want and all the solution. I am only a child and i dont have the solutions. But i want you to realise, you dont kno how to fix the holes in the ozone layer, you dont know how to bring charm up in the dead stream, U dont kno how to bring back an animal now extinct and u cant bring back the forest that exists now as a desert. If u dont kno how to fix it please stop breaking it. Here u may be deligates of ur governments, organisers, reporters, business people, journalists and politicians. But really ur mothers and fathers sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, and all of u are someones child. I am only a child yet i kno iam a part of a family five billion strong, infact 30 million species strong, and bodies and governments will never change that. I m only a child and i kno yet in this together and we should act as one single world towards one single goal. In my anger iam not blind, and in my fear i m not afraid to tell the world how i feel. In my country we make so much waste, buy and throw away buy and throw away buy and throw away, and yet northern countries were not not shared with the needy, even when we have more than enough we are afraid to share, we are afraid to let go some of our wealth. In canada we live a previlaged life, with plenty of food water and shelter. we have wayches, bicycles, computers and televisions, and the list can go on for two days. Two days ago here in brazil we are shocked when we spent some time living on the streets. This is what one child told to us, " I wish i was rich, and if i were i will give all the street children food, clothes, medicines, shelter and lova and effection. If a child on the street who has nothing is willing to share, y are we who have everything still so greedy. I cant stop thinking that these children of my own age that it makes a tremendous difference where they were born, that i could be one of those children living in the starvation, i could be a child living in somalia, or a victim of war in the middle east, or a begger in india. I m only a child yet i kno if all the money spent on war is spent on finding environmental answers, ending poverty and finding treaty's, what a wonderful flace this earth will be. At school even in kindergarden, you teach us how to behave in the world. U teach us to not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, and do u do the things that u tell us not to do?? Do not forget y you are attending this confereces, who you are doing this for? we are your own children. You are decing what kind of world we are growing up in. Parent should be able to tell thier children that everything is going to be all right and this is not the end of the world and we are the doing the best we can. But i dont think u can say that to us anymore. Are we even on ur list of priorities??? My dad always says "U are what u do, not waht u say", well, what u do makes me cry at nights, u going up saying u love us. But i challenge you please make your actions reflect your words. THANK u!!!
I inspired a lot..Hope u will!!!!!!!!!!
