First time i saw this young girl on internet she touched my heart,felt kind of deep compassion feeling,thank you Severn.Actually I think she is absolutely right on her speech,because all the enviromental prblems we have in the world are created by civlized men,so,this man is the center of the problem,this man has to be healed ,this man has to be happy,honest,fair,sensitive,than surely he wont do any harm to himself and consequently to nature and humankind.
Hello, Yes. Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been speaking on the environment since she was a child. Her depth of understanding on the issues, and her passion make her an incredible speaker.
You were incredibly elegant and tenacious at 12. I am so glad to see what a wonderful, bright, beautiful woman you have become. Please keeping trying to save us from our stupidity.
I love that she's making an effort to educate people. I believe that we should all do our best to take care of our world & ourselves so we don't have problems. We all need to be compassionate. I, for one, would rather be safe than sorry & NOT polluting the earth seems like a sensible thing to do. Clean up after yourselves. No one wants to sit in other peoples waste. If we at least do the best we can, even if it's little positive changes then we can feel good in knowing that we did our part.
Realmente increible mentalidad de esta chica, todo mi apoyo para ella y para todas las personas del mundo que se dan cuenta que hay que cambiar y hacen algo para lograrlo. Fuerza para todos
Yes, she is. And if you haven't done it yet, play the clip of her in '92, at the UN (usually called "Girl who silenced the World for 6 minutes"), it's worth it!
On the one hand I have to suggest that no one naively expect that everyone in the world will become enlightened, but on the other hand, many will, and change will come... albeit...well...will it be too little too late? We'll have to wait and see... But there are no other viable options... so thanks for lending your battered and bruised voice toward the abused and seemingly defeated cause of goodness...
Olá ! Severn Suzuki Pelo tempo que você esteve no meu pais, Já era para esta melhor o planeta, Amiga meus parabéns por tudo que você fez e ainda faz pela sua região onde você vive, Para muitas vidas foi um privilegio estar do seu lado. Sem mais...
Only The "Tree of Life" Can Mend the World, Bring Hope for the Future, End All Wars, End All Hunger, Give Free Energy for All for Ever, End All Chemical Abuse And Save Nature...Thereby Humanity... Bless You All - JB
her mother a geneticist, her father an environmental activist. of course. and as expected she grew up and got a degree in environmental biology at Yale. why is it that every body whos somebody goes to Yale, or Harvard, or Princeton or MIT or Ect... but mostly Yale or Harvard. im sure it was easy for her to get into Yale after having done so much at such a young age. quite amazing. im sure she feels very accomplished.
i was a HUGE supporter of these ideas. i belived that we would be able to sustain ourselves through adopting these principles. but through trying to apply these ideas i soon realized that the social and economic forces in the world greatly outweigh any efforts to be green. ppl dont want to be told what to do. ppl dont take well to moral scolding. by enforcing an environemnal ethic we are creating a list of limits to what ppl can and cannot do.
I'm also an advocate for this. I support Severn Suzuki, today & forevermore. Anyone may deny the fact that she really is telling the truth.If anyone denies her truth, that anyone is a disgrace. Everything she says is coming from her heart, not just from her mind. She just proved that she cares, not just the environment but also YOU to realize the fact that we are destroying the Earth and there may be the worses thing that may happen or the very worse thing to come, nuclear or biological warfare.
I just wake up in the morning and feel quite happy that there are other beings with whom to share this one planet. Just as plain as that. The fact that humans can survive without it (which is where this discussione started in the first place) as far I am concerned has nothing to deal with the fact that humans have no particular right to jeopardize it. That being independent from religious views.
I'd like to make a stern comment to each and every person who has left a negative comment of any kind toward this astounding and influential woman: exactly how far up your butts have you stuck your heads? Just because what she has been fighting for sounds simple in practice but is, in reality, a tall order, doesn't mean it's something that we shouldn't all fight for. Enjoy choking on your own wastes. Keep fighting, Severn!
Whatever is supposed to happen will happen, but if our era is to end in the coming years, let us at least leave with reverence. Let us plant the seed of respect for our home, great provider, shelter. For without her, none of this, or no one of us would be here today to even ponder the thought.
omg! I can't believe it!! . Is that really her name?. Is like I'm looking myself in a mirror (weird) and actually I'm involve in defending Mother Nature and human rights and talks a lot about this matters . Never in front of important ppl but educating ppl that can make some significant changes in our beautiful word , wich means , whoever is on my way.
@PrinceMaino Me too. It's like we're an extension of this huge living being. Humans have come to create words, vibrations, to describe it.... Mother Nature, Mother Earth, Planet Earth, Gaia, whatever name we apply, so many of us feel for this naturally thriving, creative, life-producing system. we have control over the seemingly small piece of this planet that is ours since birth - our bodies, our actions, our choices - if we change the piece we have control over, we change the whole thing.
by the way, the mention of global warming is very brief and contextualised in a wider discourse on how human beings need not to destroy the environment they live in to avoid extinction
a society that wants to save all species is as self absorbed as one thats wants to kill off all. both societies are pursuing what makes then most happy. it is this pursuit that makes every choice we make anthropocentric.
the start starts at the beggining , if you are a teenager I think is enough , people with power do less and you dont criticize them like this, i don't understand people who always look down when someone do something good even if it is a little thing!! we can not expect a gigantic change from night to day! the answer clearly will not come from the sky it beggins in a small scale. DO SOMETHING that's a start!!
@jrangle when i pray and give respect to the earth, it provides me with food, water, shelter, and love. If i pray and give respect to god, it gives me people like you
@hoggzski what is your age........ you need to listen to what she is saying objectively. Don't you care about future generations? I am probably old enough to be your grandmother or great grandmother, and trust me, I have seen the changes over the years and they are heart breaking
As for the health effects of meat consmption. well thats either up to the consumer to decrease meat consumption or the biotech industry to decrease the fat/cholesterol content present in the meats tissue. Growing meat in culture would facilitate these biotechnological applications.
I want to see humans reach Type 1 and even Type 2 status. We're at Type 0 (.7) right now and I hope we can reach T1 and branch out to other worlds. For that to happen, we need the world to unify.
our environmental problems are social issues. therefore we need to look for change in our educational and political arenas for any change. individual actions mean nothing
This reminds me of Amway. Don't sell to everyone else the act of selling, just concentrate on spreading the word to take care of yourself. Clean your own back yard. And your own scope.
I dont think nature will rid of all humans. There are some precious people, like Severn and many others. But definitly, the ones who want to survive, have 2 change our ways and leave our consumist life style.
the youth of today will be the elders of tomorrow.... that is if they dont die young thru hunger & war!!! It's about time for PEACE>>>>one World , One Race , One Destiny & One Government...... :> )
it doesnt matter what the cause is. we only need to be proactive once the temperature increase affects our livestyle. And at this point its not, and i have a feeling the temp wont even rise to the point where it will. there is not point in debating the cause when we arnt even seeing the effect of "the warming"
I was fighting an Hodgkin's lymphoma..so i guess i can't tell you what a "normal" child of 13 does, cause I don't really know. I only know that sometimes children are more mature that the adults. They see life in a quite different way, so, sometimes is easier to comprehend real life for them. And you? did you really thought in a different way when you were 13? can't it be that you think in a different way now cause you are disillused? try to think of it.
All the problems on this Earth stem from the human mind...destruction is preceded by destructive thoughts. Lack of love and tender care for one another lead to unhappiness in the mind, which leads to uncaring actions toward our Earth. If we all just train our minds, and develop compassion, the Earth will be saved. How do we do this? Thru reading books on Buddhism, or the Bhagadav Gita. Meditation is essential.
@thatjohnharveyboy I'm not completely agreeing with CheEliyahu, you surely have a point. But you are aware of the effect of another atom bomb? The news is full of new production of nuclear weapons and plutonium, especially in the Middle-East. The effect will be the same as it was in the Cold War, if one nuclear bomb is dropped there will be a total war scattered over the world. Which means total destruction. I think this is what CheEliyahu means. But I agree with your point of view.
If you start analysing each syntactic fragment of your definition what come out is a plain anthropocentric perspective, but if you don't mind there are several other species on this planet that might not agree with your definition.
teenagers are the future, so listening to wut they have to say is important. and wut im saying is that we are no longer at the beginning. The beginning began in 1885 in Canada with the formation of its first national park. Since then, numerous parks have been created and things have not gotten any better. Preservation is not the solution...nor is it part of the solution. It just distracts us from the hard work required to create a sustainable relationship with the natural world.
plz bear with me. i think it would be fair to say that i understand fairly well the ins-and-outs of envronmntalism. i am aware of cradle-to-cradle design, the importance of diversity, our diconnect with nature, designing with nature, green energy, earths life support systems, consumerism and materialism, nature preservation, resource conservation, the counterculture movement, deep ecology, definitions of nature, the relatnship of man and nature, theory of evolution, important activists blah blah

I'm so glad that that girl from '92 continued to grow to be such a beautiful person.
thank you.

Realmente increible mentalidad de esta chica, todo mi apoyo para ella y para todas las personas del mundo que se dan cuenta que hay que cambiar y hacen algo para lograrlo. Fuerza para todos
the perfect woman,she has a great intellect and conscience.i wish all human being were like this girl
Yes, she is. And if you haven't done it yet, play the clip of her in '92, at the UN (usually called "Girl who silenced the World for 6 minutes"), it's worth it!
AWESOME! She is aweseme!!! let's follow her lead.
loved ur speech in the UN
Greetings from Europe

@unhell1980 She's David Suzuki, the geneticist's daughter.
god i love her.
impressive career!!
I'm in love how do i join up !
is she the same suzuki who spoke at a UN conference in brazil in 1992?
her mother a geneticist, her father an environmental activist. of course. and as expected she grew up and got a degree in environmental biology at Yale. why is it that every body whos somebody goes to Yale, or Harvard, or Princeton or MIT or Ect... but mostly Yale or Harvard. im sure it was easy for her to get into Yale after having done so much at such a young age. quite amazing. im sure she feels very accomplished.
Go girl Go!!!
she was awsome on her discourse before all those politicians!
i love you .cullins
Is she related to David Suzuki? I mean she's Canadian right? If so, what a cool family...
i was a HUGE supporter of these ideas. i belived that we would be able to sustain ourselves through adopting these principles. but through trying to apply these ideas i soon realized that the social and economic forces in the world greatly outweigh any efforts to be green. ppl dont want to be told what to do. ppl dont take well to moral scolding. by enforcing an environemnal ethic we are creating a list of limits to what ppl can and cannot do.

What were her earrings for? :S

why she changed her last name to cullis??
GOD bless you dear!
Whatever is supposed to happen will happen, but if our era is to end in the coming years, let us at least leave with reverence. Let us plant the seed of respect for our home, great provider, shelter. For without her, none of this, or no one of us would be here today to even ponder the thought.
I will would like to here what she would think about The Venus Project.
I think it would be great if she would hear Jaucqe Fresco talk.
amazing woman!
omg! I can't believe it!! . Is that really her name?. Is like I'm looking myself in a mirror (weird) and actually I'm involve in defending Mother Nature and human rights and talks a lot about this matters .

oh yes, that black cloud belching out of smoke stacks is actually good for the atmosphere, right?
oh, she's grown from the 92! :)
Great!
I WANNA MARRY YOU Severn Cullis-Suzuki
search about rachel corrie
she was also a brave young woman
@PrinceMaino
Me too. It's like we're an extension of this huge living being. Humans have come to create words, vibrations, to describe it....

@MrOrangobango how so?
solo una cosa, no nos merecemos este mundo. cada uno que haga lo que crea conveniente siempre que sea respetando todo aquello que nos rodea
Has she ever heard of the Zeitgeist Movement??
Ahora es mayor , esta en el sistema,lo unico que le queda ser positiva ante un panorama poco alentador.
wut u think?
i want her
by the way, the mention of global warming is very brief and contextualised in a wider discourse on how human beings need not to destroy the environment they live in to avoid extinction
nice
Um, with all due respect, it is commonly understood that the phrase "follow her lead" means "follow in her example." Nuff said.
how old is she ? i wanna marry her...=P
a society that wants to save all species is as self absorbed as one thats wants to kill off all. both societies are pursuing what makes then most happy. it is this pursuit that makes every choice we make anthropocentric.
@XGCScrappy Whatever floats your boat. I thinks she's cute and she seems happy.
@ludek92 your not wrong.
the start starts at the beggining , if you are a teenager I think is enough , people with power do less and you dont criticize them like this, i don't understand people who always look down when someone do something good even if it is a little thing!! we can not expect a gigantic change from night to day! the answer clearly will not come from the sky it beggins in a small scale.

Tuve gusto de su mejor cuando ella era todo joven y menor de edad, ella soy todo grueso y viejo ahora

she is like Julia from tekken
@moonkick360 yep, life is a cycle, we are not above the cycle of life!
She's the girl who silenced the world for 6 minutes, back in 1992.. :P
