None!! Nothing ABSOLUTEY NOTHING will stop ' our species ' from hurtling to self destruction. And as the ship sinks, we will all still be counting our $$$$. Power & Profit control our world, till total destruction.
These subjects are difficult to fix and change. This is a child beleiving that there is a problem and the problem needs immediate attention to repair it (which they do) but it is never that simple. Her speech has a child's naive point of view about the world.
Blake Walker Every single person on this planet has the ability to make a change. If you do not belive this then you sir, are naive. Even a small child.
no the government isn't going to change but guess what the government arent immortal so what im saying is they wont live forever so when they say they wont do anything different, thats not completely true yes they wont change the things and the way they do things for others but listen if the government wont change for the people then that means we the people have to change the government im not saying we should try and get rid of the government we just need to find people we trust and respect alot into the government. so what im trying to say is we need to change not only our vision on the government but they need to change there view on us we arent people they can toss around and force us to do there bidding cuz what they are forgetting the most is we are just as smart and human as them. And when she spoke this doesn't need to involve the government shes saying if you don't know how to fix something then don't mess with it (credit's to denise sheeran)
Only ignorant people think governments run things. The only way to make change is by capturing the corporations and wealthy elites. Learn from LGBTQIA2XYZ#/LMNOP
Do you not know how to subtract? 2017 - 2008 = 9 (Technically 8 years because we're still not in April 18) Also if your so mad that we haven't made progress, then try to make a change.
This is ridiculous how a child can view the world like this but an adult cannot handle the thought of saying they were doing wrong and confessing. We can't just have a few people to think like that, we need all people to think like that and make the world a better place. The Earth cannot not be perfect but it could be better.
and then today we have emma watson on the stage instead someone like this. also it was greed that made all this stuff she talked about. if it was not for greed 100% of everyone would be poor and living in a puddle of their own piss.
Hey found it. I was searching for this video since 3 years . Had seen this girl on DD news India. And I was so moved. Keep it up young lady. Your voice is very clear and powerful. You are really inspiring. Especially to girls like us in developing nations.
It's not going to kill us all, for one the winners don't die. Also, our current situation is actually better than the past world war (F*cking Hitler). Also, were f*cking smarter and more organized now compared to the f*cking past, you f*cking idiot.
+Blank YD "Also, were f*cking smarter and more organized now compared to the f*cking past, you f*cking idiot" Um, no not really, no matter how organized we are, we are one step closer to fucking ourselves in the ass than the past years. Population has increased and so has the poverty and the crime. I know technology has progressed but the minds of the humans and that of the society hasn't. I don't see much of "organisaton" in your comment either with your censored swears. And, NO, the world is certainly not in a "better" position. I know the world wars were horrible but they killed a lot of people in an instant. Whereas the modern days are killing slowly, like poison. You tell me, and the people who are reading this comment, Whats better??? An executioner who kills in a second or the one who takes the life out of you in an entire lifetime.
Wise words for a child in this video.s he is very right about these world issues, because social change happens one individual at a time. The things she talked about could eventually breaks us wold wide, things that we deal everyday and she made a really important point at the end of her speech. That is why I agree with her so strongly,That as a 47 year old male ,I believe that like most people. watching and hearing this speech is making me want to make social change, one individual at a time. IT is like this , if you are not pat of the solution you are part of the problem.Thank you so much Severn Susuki in believing in social change. you are going to do great things in the future.
FRG YT I have a mum too, there is no need to be disrespectful. And I would also appreciate it if you did not call me a bitch. Look I see how you would think that women start drama a lot I quite honestly agree that sometimes they can be a bit dramatic and gossipy but there is no use of completely disregarding them. I respect your opinion if it is in fact based on reasons, experience and research however instead of depositing so much energy in being a misogynist, you can try having a more positive outlook it can be proven quite liberating. Instead of questioning the existence of females, make your peace with it by thinking of all of the good things they have done in this world. I am not dillusional enough to believe i will change your mind on viewing males as a superior race but I hope I can help you hate women less and see how they hold value in this world for helping in various ways
FRG YT Who do you think you are to take a group of people (also 50% of Earths population) and say such thing? Maybe you should take into consideration all the damage that has been done by most male presidents so far, and then talk.
Boot the adults off UN Meetings and have the kids sit in their place. Adults yap on and on in circular discussions. Kids are much more direct and linear, especially the kids of today. I hope she hasn't given up the fight ... we need more like her. We NEED to hear more childrens' voices and we NEED to listen.
Great man also said, when you are weak minded and settle for propaganda put forward by unscrupulous frauds....you have become a sheep, and useless to progress, and solutions.
Regardless of how the content of this beautiful young girl's speech is perceived by all the different comments; She stood for something she believes in with poise, passion and conviction. She already "stands" for something-she's on her feet at such a young age. She is the manifestation of the cliche' "You have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything". The cliche' is a cliche' because it is true. I'm proud and inspired by your conviction.
I didn't think anyone would pay attention to this post. I'm so glad people listened to this young girl's speech. It was given years ago. Let's find some newer videos of kids with this kind passion. Keep sharing reports and videos of kids doing great humanitarian or other good deeds. Let's make those kids headliners!!
She made the world a shame on her truth but no one think what she was trying to say. she looks like a mother earth while she warning. greatest speech I ever seen.
Keep going forward likethis so that the world will realize and respect your every words. And thank you very much for your valuable speech that will indeed make the leaders to do something effective.Once again thanks for the inspiration and message you provide to all the people.
I'm so proud of this girl, she really expressed herself to her audience and the rest of the world. I hope we can learn from this little girl and I pray they take her seriously and learn from her and stop fixing things that aren't broken.
ogogo ogpgpg how can we not be emotional the world is ending not because of desises but because we are destroying it little by little the trees are being cut down 40 football fields every minute the animals that live in those trees are dying soon they will be extinct just like evey 1 minute one species goes extinct the world has so much pollution some places in the world can even want to the store with out stepping on trash just scattered around who know when the earth will still be here but let's just hope it still here for our children to see it
I agree with her, why? Because sooner or later there will be no trees and lakes that we see now, our children will never see butterflies and birds around. There will be no forest to absorb water, because this days it's counter part are houses for the people's continue growing population.
yes it is time to wake up - to many people go through live without caring - a person i know just asked me - why would i want to plant trees - why would i want to be concerned about population-growth? yes - why - because of all the points this young smart and knowing 13year-old presented - yes it is time to wake up !
I want all the people around the world to realize on what's happenning to our home, its time, to tell the world of their wrong doings. What the consequences of their action. Children in the near future will never see the wonder of this world ,for it was replaced with houses for the growing population of humanity. Maybe all those typhoons and earthquakes were signs of the consequences of what we've done to the nature and it's inhabitants. We never cared about the nature anymore. Let's face it, we change for the worse, that's the sad truth.

To all the people saying it and those who believe it: She did not commit suicide from bullying. This inspirational girl, named Severn Cullis-Suziki, grew up to graduate from Yale University, and is now an environment activist, television show host and author, she is honored in the United Nations Environment Programme, and is 33, happily married and has 2 children.
+Discord - Agar.io :/ This is a silly question. Videos didn't suddenly exist in 2008, people post old videos all the time, just because they posted it in 2008, doesn't mean that's the year it was made.
You know, people say they care about Global Warming, but it never comes first. Until we learn that it should, we can't significantly do anything about it; my biggest fear is finding out it's too late. - A teen
Lana Lee ,have you seen the face of hunger have you ever lost your whole crop which was supposed to feed you till the next harvest, have you ever went fishing only to come back with nothing because most of the fish migrated , have you ever wondered where you will get water have you ever grieved for loosing someone due to hunger have factories near you shut down due to insufficient water to sustain them and the people.Have you ever yearned to take river water because tap water is being rationed and you can't because it is pollute.If you not have gone through most of these things or heared or maybe seen these things which happened due to the negligence and greed of human beings and has resulted in an altered climatic system then yes global warming is a hoax
Euphrasia Nzisa A hoax? Look I’m sorry for all those people, it’s crap! But we are NOT wasting our money on preventing Global Warming (which btw does exist and is scientifically proven), we ARE wasting our money on warfare; on nuclear weapons. Global Warming does very much exist and even if you think it “might not exist”, do you really want to take that chance?!
Sori Gamez Of course 😃 But unfortunately CFC’s release chlorine which reacts with ozone and breaks down and damages the ozone; creating holes which allow sunlight to penetrate through to the Earths surface.
I would greatly appreciate it if you read this all the way through to help you see the true reality of the world.this is truly a heart breaking, sad, and amazing speech that a child sees a good portion of all the problems in the world that we're killing. it's sad that a child has to tell off grown individuals who some are probably from government branches about the mistakes their making. a child about the age of 12 can see most the world for what it really is and yet adults are supposed to be the responsible ones. if they're to be responsible then they need to get over themselves and grow up and take responsibility for their actions. it is now 2016 and have any adults or government officials done anything? no, because they are all too greedy to see the true reality of this world, the very place where you call home is being turned into a wasteland by the minute, and yet, still no one cares. no one listens to the voice of a child, no one thinks their words matter, well for any adult who reads this, make a difference. not just for yourself, but for your children and their children and so on. I am only a child, but there is much wisdom to learn from children. their voices matter, their words matter. for all those who don't see the true reality of the world, step back, take a closer look, pay more attention to the important things in the world, try to see the whole board. for any child, adult, or anyone of any age thank you for reading this all the way through.
She's now 21, so if she was to be elected presidents we would have to wait 16 years, because when she turns 35 it will still be 2 years until the presidents term was over.
Reading a piece of paper with info bout the environment doesnt make you a presidential canditate. She is someone supporting a better environment, not a politician.
+AquaDasher (Marydean) this was made in 2008 and she said they were 12 to 13. 2016 - 2008 = 12. 12+12= 24 and you have to be 40 to run for president so no she isn't
I'll tell you but you WILL NOT believe me. Okay here we go. The ten thousand people who disliked this video were the ones watching this video who ACTUALLY KNEW FROM THE START... ... WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY THIS CONFERENCE TOOK PLACE. THIS TOOK PLACE IN RIO DE JANEIRO IN 1992. IT WAS THE UNITED NATIONS AGENDA 21 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE. THEY WERE USING THIS GIRL TO PLAY ON THE EMOTIONS OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF ALL ATTENDING COUNTRIES WITH THE AIM OF PUSHING GLOBALISM AND GETTING EVERY COUNTRY TO ACCEPT A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT WHERE NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY WILL NO LONGER EXIST AND EVERY ASPECT OF YOURE LIFE WILL BE CONTROLLED BY THE UNITED NATIONS. THEY ARE STILL TO THIS DAY USING ENVIRONMENTALISM AS A GUISE TO ACHIEVE THE SAME GOALS. see I told you that you wouldn't believe me.was I right. Of course I was. But ask yourself.... did I really do all that research just now and come back just to answer you're question????? NO!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE I SAID. MYSELF AND THE OTHER 10 THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO WERE THE FEW WHO ACTUALLY KNEW FROM THE START. WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY THIS CONFERENCE WAS HELD.???????? RESEARCH AGENDA 21, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. I CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, AND YOU CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. BUT THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE ORGANIZATION OF THIS CONFERENCE DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. THEY WANT TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE AND HAVE A MASSIVE WORLDWIDE GENOCIDE UNDER THE GUISE OF ENVIRONMENTALISM??????????? PEACE.
Most kids sound like her. People act like this is surprising that some kid said it when everyone has been saying it for years. People just need to open their ears more.
Maruto 28 Don't Be sad , If u've realised something that you feel is right , you should start taking small steps towards the action, and that first small step is all that matter is what changes everything , Good Luck , Have a Great Future a head , and always remember That's the RIGHTEOUS are the MIGHTIEST :)
Yep, praying has been so awesome and so useful that it has literally eradicated all types of climate changes and poverty and all human sufferings. Lets pray, now, that Donald trump vanishes into thin air. I'm pretty positive that it can happen if we pray.
I work as hard as I can to save water, use less paper and plastic, and keeping recyclables out of the trash. Please, instead of using that paper plate, use a glass one. Please, instead of throwing cardboard into the trash, recycle it. Please, turn off the water while brushing teeth. Please change the world and our carbon footprint.
And yet this amazing speach did not improve the situation, did not change the way these people think. It was only admired as a "great speach given by a child", as an entertainment realy. How sad is that?! I saw it here for the first time! I've never heard of it before, because there are always "more important" news like the dress that a british royalty wore, a nose job for some celebrity, a dog that rides a bycicle!
ProNikegod you are A bitter little thing, aren't you?! If you dislike my comment so much - there is A little icon, showing "thumbs down". I suggest you use it and save your lectures on grammer for school. This whole conversation has ABSOLUTELY no connection to the amazing video above and I think it has no point, so I am putting AN end to it!
I'm 16 and watching this makes me cry and worried a lot... remembering living in a province when I was 7-9 and playing in a lake, when I visited it again it's already too dirty to play to, I feel so sad that other generation will not experience how happy it was to play in a river and lake in a province all they will know is browse internet. The fact that this video is more than 20yrs makes me worried and sad even more
+kevina warner To be fair, it was probably her parents and/or other people who helped write that. There is no way a 13 year old has the mental capability to think of a thought provoking message like that. Yes, she may have thrown in her ideas, but she did not write 100% of that.
+SNiPEOO7 I imagine, if you're gonna have an international speech infront of the UN, it wont just be your parents in on it. She definitely not did not write 50% of it.
+Dustin Gould Does that even really matter? What matters is SOMEONE had enough balls to stand up in front of all those glassy-eyed people and talk about something nobody wanted to talk about.
Once one great environmentalist said human beings are the only creatures on the earth who just take and take from mother nature but don't give nothing back to her. This bureaucratic corporate system will be the main reason for the demise of Human Civilization. Undoubtledtly the best UA-cam video i have ever seen
I honestly hate my class. I'm in grade 8, a couple months away from high school an I can't wait. I'm smart and I want to talk to people about things that I interest me like phycology and world issues. However my class decides to rather than listen to me and discus what I like, they decide to hate me. They have inside jokes about me that I don't even know. It doesn't bother me that they hate me with no reason, or if they do have a reason decide to cower and laugh behind my back rather then face me head on. No, what bothers me is that they don't care what I have to say. I get ignored, talked over, or told to just shut up. The people in my class don't care about the earth and how it is slowly dying. Or human rights across the world. Instead, they worry about the best filter. So to my class I want to say 'you are what's wrong with this world. You are the reason why older generations frown apon us. Rather then harming the world and laughing at people like me who do recycle and compost, why-
...and I can honestly say WOW. I applaud your desire to become involved and INFORMED. Schools no longer hone children's ability to think critically or to ask questions. Just keep smiling when you see them; you know what they don't. Let them wonder about that smile. There are others out there like you; you just have to find them. See about starting a school club.
yea very inspirational and i am going into the eight grade after this current summer break and we r so focused on who we like and telling everybody to add them on snapchat and things and also the school system is crumbling into pieces
Yeah. If we go after the religious theory, we all are born from Adam and Eve. We all are brothers and sisters, we have made this technology and we're calling ourselves smart, while we still fight with weapons and our fists instead of words.
The real problem, is the adults. The children all believe in climate change, global warming, the loss of trees, saving the world. All of the important things, are thought by "imuture" children, when really we should be listening to them. Some of the most important things, arnt attended to, unlike other unimportant things.
Donaria Kinnay then there’s lil tay. Dude every girl at my school just cares about their nails or Instagram followers. they just care about drama and to fight eachother
I am one of the youth trying also to make some different in our society but, i have realized that even you did your best, it is very difficult to convince the people around you to do something, but i didn't lose my advocacy to pursue and do the best of having some changes to fix some environmental issues to the society. Ending corruption, unity for peace and understanding each other will make a great impact to our society.
The problem is, unless you're saying what selfish people want to hear they will simply ignore you. The world nowadays revolves around money, war and personal gain sadly. Most people are not willing to accept what they have done wrong until they have no way of avoiding it. Do not target the older generations, target your generation as they will be the future and you may just be able to make your goals a reality
When those last word left her mouth I realized that I couldn't speak and I was crying so hard that you could hear me even through walls. Those words touched my heart and I I couldn't believe what I have done so many years
Yeeeah... and when they take it all away from you, what then? When they think you're obliged to give them, what then? When you become the bad one for not enabling them, WHAT THEN? A dog will keep pulling on its leash, no matter how much longer you keep making it. It's not this simple, not sharing is not the problm at all.
+Stephanie Poison I see what you're saying. But whilst sharing can lead to a dependency culture, I personally believe that it's far better than forsaking those same dependent people, without having put any effort in to help them. At the least you can say you tried. If someone tries to accuse you of being the villain for not spoon feeding them everything, it doesn't mean you really are the villain, and I'm pretty sure others will see that. I think sharing is fundamentally essential, but to a certain degree.
+Leo Nos How would you like it if someone took everything you owned, everything you worked hard for, put in all of your effort in, and gave it to some poor bangladeshi's and ugandans with the reasoning that they earn less than $1 a day, which is why they need your stuff.
This girl spoke the truth. We're what we do not what we say. I wish that she could have just got a chance of bringing out such kind of speech, each month. I really love her.
You should see those videos on UA-cam where hundreds of people storm stores on Black Friday, like it's a freaking battlefield. That is the definition of society today.
Tayohni Yep lol. I personally prefer buying things on Black Friday, but holy crap, no need to run or steal crap from others or even start fights. If I wanted a tv or game or something, and I saw some guy take the last one, I won't pick a fight with him or something...Just wait til next year, or buy off e-bay, or hell, just wait til Cyber Monday.
(Don't downvote this before you read it): Great, but; "Who gives a shit?". That is not my quote. It is the worlds quote. Because of Apathy. Has the world gotten better for her speech? No. Maybe it inspired you, maybe it brought a tear to your eye (as it should), but it didn't change shit. I wish it did, but it didn't. We don't value empathy in our current society. I wish we did.
@@sandytaylor2377 pretty much. I personally think someone else wrote her speech in 1992, but now that she built her fame off being an activist its easy money (and itd be weird if she went back)
she's great! even people in older age and experience won't have the same mind like her. I hope she becomes someone who can make a change to the world in future.
Kudos to that brave girl to gobsmack every world leader! She's only asking for every living creature on this planet to have the right to live as life has designed us to live. Greed was never the backbone, or the mandate of life on this planet. But it sure is now! How do we go backwards, how do we make this world a place where every living creature can be in comfort with all others, and all can live together?
She was told to get Louder and Louder so it didn't seem like what she was saying is in QUESTION. Deceptive ppl helped her with this speech. Most ppl in this world ARE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR, DOING WHAT THEY KNOW IS WRONG FOR A DOLLAR. SELL OUTS. SMILING IN YOUR FACE WHILE DOING IT and talking with their Approximation of a nice sounding voice. Look alot of what this girl said is true. I appreciate it. So thank you.
A Little Child Shall Lead Them! We must all listen to this child's wisdom...and pray everyday for God's Guidance.,in all things , Ask and you shall receive! Love, Peace to all?..
She's definitely right, about everything she said......and presented it all in a way that I find admirable in any young person who truly cares about issues beyond their own lives personally, beyond the television and the latest trends and celebrities. Most minds go no further than that, so I give this young lady huge props for speaking the words that we don't often hear these days and if so, rarely.
Candace Dee "CaptainZuluGamma1 month ago +Jay Te And by common sense you mean the conlclusion one should reach after being indoctrinated with nonsence, and propaganda. All I hear is the rich elite class that dont work but rather absorb the wealth of middle and upperclases laughing at us, as they have this little girl talk about how awful all this wealth is in the hands of average people and how we need state violence to remove all the money from people and have us all live on reserves, because species are dying as has been occuring since life first existed here but that does not matter facts reality, no get emotional get illogical and get real real mad at people that need less freedom to hunt teddy ruxbin, you want results attack what causes someone to hurt animals like child abuse and violent parenting, or we can just watch our history reapeat." Must i say anything else? (I did not say anything quoted in the paragraph above. i just agree with him)
Qi Huna It only falls on deaf ears if you, yourself, choose not to listen. The words, thoughts and ideas are indelible. Do what you can and worry not of the actions of others.
Personally, I really don't care because its a political move and ALL politics are FRONTS!! To be any type of Politician, you have to be DIRTY, if not.......I 1000% GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE...........or be buried somewhere in the desert......ALIVE!! Politics IS a way of life..
PLEASE HELP! I have been searching for a song for years now. It is a pop song, sung by a guy and it includes a part of Severn Suzuki's speech in the middle. I can't remember it well, but I remember hearing something like children singing throughout the song. I don't know any lyrics, but I remember hearing Severn say 'I'm afraid to breathe the air' clearly near the end. I know the music video has a television in it. Also, I'm pretty sure it's not Darude Sandstorm thank you. If anyone has any idea, please tell me!
the faces of the adults...

people agreed and applauded, but since then how much progress and change has really been made?
None!!

No change,except in the dreams
Mikey HotRod not enough that is how much change
These subjects are difficult to fix and change. This is a child beleiving that there is a problem and the problem needs immediate attention to repair it (which they do) but it is never that simple. Her speech has a child's naive point of view about the world.

"if you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it." preach
no the government isn't going to change but guess what the government arent immortal so what im saying is they wont live forever so when they say they wont do anything different, thats not completely true yes they wont change the things and the way they do things for others but listen if the government wont change for the people then that means we the people have to change the government im not saying we should try and get rid of the government we just need to find people we trust and respect alot into the government. so what im trying to say is we need to change not only our vision on the government but they need to change there view on us we arent people they can toss around and force us to do there bidding cuz what they are forgetting the most is we are just as smart and human as them. And when she spoke this doesn't need to involve the government shes saying if you don't know how to fix something then don't mess with it (credit's to denise sheeran)
Denise Sheeran
Denise Sheeran Holy crud I read that as she said it
Welp nowadays we can fix all of those things including extinction we are just to greedy to do so.
yeah. rise taxes all there is what they want.
Greta Thunberg: Can I copy your homework?
Severn Suzuki: Yeah, just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied.

The irony is this was a hoax pulled on the UN. Wouldn't surprise me if they would do it again.

TPCWorld - Top 5 Space Videos! u dint upload anymore?
Do you not know how to subtract? 2017 - 2008 = 9 (Technically 8 years because we're still not in April 18) Also if your so mad that we haven't made progress, then try to make a change.
thats when the video was uploaded, not when it was recorded...

This is ridiculous how a child can view the world like this but an adult cannot handle the thought of saying they were doing wrong and confessing. We can't just have a few people to think like that, we need all people to think like that and make the world a better place. The Earth cannot not be perfect but it could be better.

She's 36 with 2 kids and is now an activist
She's Hillary
actually she should be 20 by now
If this speech was filmed in 1992, wouldn't that have made her... let's see... negative 4 years old when she gave this speech?

We studied her speech in my school in Bhutan. it was in our textbooks. wonderful speech
lol
Bhutan, the only country that has it's shit together.
true. 70% of Bhutan is under forest cover.
You are lucky. You are studying an inspiring speech, while here in the USA, I am studying useless algebra shit.

She deserves a noble peace prize

There is no such thing/feeling as "peace"
jack han definitely
Five minutes of silence. And then it's back to business as usual.
Sad, but true
and then today we have emma watson on the stage instead someone like this.
also it was greed that made all this stuff she talked about. if it was not for greed 100% of everyone would be poor and living in a puddle of their own piss.
Jon Doe this world is so messed up but today its so si wrong but one voice loke mine or yours will g o unheard of
we must not do this!
Jon Doe amen thank you
Hey found it. I was searching for this video since 3 years . Had seen this girl on DD news India. And I was so moved. Keep it up young lady. Your voice is very clear and powerful. You are really inspiring. Especially to girls like us in developing nations.
its 2016 more wars, more dead ,more starving more homeless. and less rhinos it's sad
Don't worry, the name lived on as names of big vehicles.
More wars? f*ck off. Do you even world war?
Blank YD hes toght there is currently one war going in tight now and sooner or later its going to kill us all
It's not going to kill us all, for one the winners don't die. Also, our current situation is actually better than the past world war (F*cking Hitler). Also, were f*cking smarter and more organized now compared to the f*cking past, you f*cking idiot.
+Blank YD "Also, were f*cking smarter and more organized now compared to the f*cking past, you f*cking idiot"
Um, no not really, no matter how organized we are, we are one step closer to fucking ourselves in the ass than the past years. Population has increased and so has the poverty and the crime. I know technology has progressed but the minds of the humans and that of the society hasn't. I don't see much of "organisaton" in your comment either with your censored swears. And, NO, the world is certainly not in a "better" position. I know the world wars were horrible but they killed a lot of people in an instant. Whereas the modern days are killing slowly, like poison. You tell me, and the people who are reading this comment, Whats better??? An executioner who kills in a second or the one who takes the life out of you in an entire lifetime.
This is just beautiful. That's all I can say.
Yeah, she was really good out there. If it were me I'd have sh*t my pants in the first second.
Stalest Meme ever 2pac in a female body what she spoke is something pac tried to fight for
Sadly we are here in 2016 and it didn't make a difference
fucking bitches in this world
Easy isnt it? Making comments on youtube is easy, but actually doing something? Naaaah
:( yeah
We will get through this world will be great again have hope cause that is all we have
yeah right like russia china and iran are fucking taking the middle east and america is sitting and watching lol syria is down my country is next
Wise words for a child in this video.s
he is very right about these world issues, because social change happens one individual at a time. The things she talked about could eventually breaks us wold wide, things that we deal everyday and she made a really important point at the end of her speech. That is why I agree with her so strongly,That as a 47 year old male ,I believe that like most people. watching and hearing this speech is making me want to make social change, one individual at a time. IT is like this , if you are not pat of the solution you are part of the problem.Thank you so much Severn Susuki in believing in social change. you are going to do great things in the future.
we now need children to tell us how to live, wake up people..
Some children have better ideas and are brighter than adults. They are not just hyperactive sex machines
your comment means the world to me. Im 16 years old....and i just want to say thank you for seeing me and others...in a different and positive way.
+MadSimmer :)
+MadSimmer I am a 14 year old
Yes u as adluts need to wake up. Cause we want a creativity colourful frutue. We are only children we need you to wake up and take a deep breath
Let her be president already instead, thanks.
She'd be a better president than any of the other ones.
FRG YT what is your problem???
FRG YT Why don't you go tell your mum that, I'm sure she'll be very proud
FRG YT I have a mum too, there is no need to be disrespectful. And I would also appreciate it if you did not call me a bitch. Look I see how you would think that women start drama a lot I quite honestly agree that sometimes they can be a bit dramatic and gossipy but there is no use of completely disregarding them. I respect your opinion if it is in fact based on reasons, experience and research however instead of depositing so much energy in being a misogynist, you can try having a more positive outlook it can be proven quite liberating. Instead of questioning the existence of females, make your peace with it by thinking of all of the good things they have done in this world. I am not dillusional enough to believe i will change your mind on viewing males as a superior race but I hope I can help you hate women less and see how they hold value in this world for helping in various ways
FRG YT Who do you think you are to take a group of people (also 50% of Earths population) and say such thing? Maybe you should take into consideration all the damage that has been done by most male presidents so far, and then talk.
Boot the adults off UN Meetings and have the kids sit in their place. Adults yap on and on in circular discussions. Kids are much more direct and linear, especially the kids of today. I hope she hasn't given up the fight ... we need more like her. We NEED to hear more childrens' voices and we NEED to listen.

as a great man once said: when all the rivers are dried up and all the trees cut down man will realize he can not eat money
April K Belue
XXapril_antidoteXX i wish i could give your comment a thousand hands up!!!!!👌
John trudell.. is that right?
That will never happen though, NASA has some good news, the world is a greener place today than it was 20 years ago.
Great man also said, when you are weak minded and settle for propaganda put forward by unscrupulous frauds....you have become a sheep, and useless to progress, and solutions.
Lets change the world of Mankind into the world of KINDMAN!!!
Met deze generatie gaan we het hopelijk nog wel redden..............Wat een prachtige terecht wijzing aan de mensheid!!!
Well said
I'm putting this quote on my journal. You'll be credited.
Wait.......you said the same thing on that other video with the gut with no arms and legs. Something fishy...
Pun intended?
Regardless of how the content of this beautiful young girl's speech is perceived by all the different comments; She stood for something she believes in with poise, passion and conviction. She already "stands" for something-she's on her feet at such a young age. She is the manifestation of the cliche' "You have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything". The cliche' is a cliche' because it is true. I'm proud and inspired by your conviction.
I didn't think anyone would pay attention to this post. I'm so glad people listened to this young girl's speech. It was given years ago. Let's find some newer videos of kids with this kind passion. Keep sharing reports and videos of kids doing great humanitarian or other good deeds. Let's make those kids headliners!!
Gwyn Huff
but has anything been done? nope...
Aidan Doyle
How can anyone give a thumbs down for a wonderful truthful speech like that!
Powerful Speech .. Yet Nothing Has Changed.
+Obviously Jenna because talking ends with conversation and no action other than lips flapping thus NOTHING EVER GETS DONE BY TALKING ABOUT IT
Jenna Lea
She made the world a shame on her truth but no one think what she was trying to say. she looks like a mother earth while she warning. greatest speech I ever seen.
I agree
Keep going forward likethis so that the world will realize and respect your every words.
And thank you very much for your valuable speech that will indeed make the leaders to do something effective.Once again thanks for the inspiration and message you provide to all the people.
Nihar Goud
If only the adults would listen and act, imagine what they could accomplish. This young lady has a great passion, I hope she goes far with it.
I don't think the adults heard, they were to busy thinking of ways to make money from this...
kellie77381
I'm so proud of this girl, she really expressed herself to her audience
and the rest of the world. I hope we can learn from this little girl and I pray they take her seriously and learn from her and stop fixing things that aren't broken.
I cried so hard...
Emma formanova
I'm not even sure if a human can crie hard I think you should go to the doctor
Emma formanova same
ogogo ogpgpg WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
ogogo ogpgpg how can we not be emotional the world is ending not because of desises but because we are destroying it little by little the trees are being cut down 40 football fields every minute the animals that live in those trees are dying soon they will be extinct just like evey 1 minute one species goes extinct the world has so much pollution some places in the world can even want to the store with out stepping on trash just scattered around who know when the earth will still be here but let's just hope it still here for our children to see it
Same here I want to fox this so my children can live a happy healthy life.
How dare we allow our children be this frightened.
Laiuka1
Laiuka1
Because adults won't open their eyes and see the true monsters under the bed
I agree with her, why? Because sooner or later there will be no trees and lakes that we see now, our children will never see butterflies and birds around. There will be no forest to absorb water, because this days it's counter part are houses for the people's continue growing population.
yes it is time to wake up - to many people go through live without caring - a person i know just asked me - why would i want to plant trees - why would i want to be concerned about population-growth? yes - why - because of all the points this young smart and knowing 13year-old presented - yes it is time to wake up !
I want all the people around the world to realize on what's happenning to our home, its time, to tell the world of their wrong doings. What the consequences of their action. Children in the near future will never see the wonder of this world ,for it was replaced with houses for the growing population of humanity. Maybe all those typhoons and earthquakes were signs of the consequences of what we've done to the nature and it's inhabitants. We never cared about the nature anymore. Let's face it, we change for the worse, that's the sad truth.
Amen
human, humanity, peace, love, affection...Thank you young lady..I like your instinct
Beautiful and honest words. Children of today are more sensible than us...more concerned about humanity and planet 'Earth'.

Good afternoon.
สิริมาดา Sirimada
To all the people saying it and those who believe it: She did not commit suicide from bullying. This inspirational girl, named Severn Cullis-Suziki, grew up to graduate from Yale University, and is now an environment activist, television show host and author, she is honored in the United Nations Environment Programme, and is 33, happily married and has 2 children.
+Discord - Agar.io some music videos from before UA-cam was created are up here I wonder how?
+Discord - Agar.io :/ This is a silly question. Videos didn't suddenly exist in 2008, people post old videos all the time, just because they posted it in 2008, doesn't mean that's the year it was made.
+Discord - Agar.io ...the video itself was clearly taped way before 2008. Someone just happened to post it on UA-cam that year.
+Discord - Agar.io I hope you're trolling.
+Discord - Agar.io lol yup, troll.
in 7 minutes she said what 2Pac tried too tell us.
Rosca Cosmin
Rosca Cosmin fr.....
Rosca Cosmin I just said that on someone else’s comment lol
You know, people say they care about Global Warming, but it never comes first. Until we learn that it should, we can't significantly do anything about it; my biggest fear is finding out it's too late. - A teen
Lana Lee ,have you seen the face of hunger have you ever lost your whole crop which was supposed to feed you till the next harvest, have you ever went fishing only to come back with nothing because most of the fish migrated , have you ever wondered where you will get water have you ever grieved for loosing someone due to hunger have factories near you shut down due to insufficient water to sustain them and the people.Have you ever yearned to take river water because tap water is being rationed and you can't because it is pollute.If you not have gone through most of these things or heared or maybe seen these things which happened due to the negligence and greed of human beings and has resulted in an altered climatic system then yes global warming is a hoax
Euphrasia Nzisa A hoax? Look I’m sorry for all those people, it’s crap! But we are NOT wasting our money on preventing Global Warming (which btw does exist and is scientifically proven), we ARE wasting our money on warfare; on nuclear weapons. Global Warming does very much exist and even if you think it “might not exist”, do you really want to take that chance?!
Yahir Rodriguez Yes that’s awful, hopefully more conservation projects are being put in place.
Lana Lee Have you heard of the ozone layer?
Sori Gamez Of course 😃 But unfortunately CFC’s release chlorine which reacts with ozone and breaks down and damages the ozone; creating holes which allow sunlight to penetrate through to the Earths surface.
I would greatly appreciate it if you read this all the way through to help you see the true reality of the world.this is truly a heart breaking, sad, and amazing speech that a child sees a good portion of all the problems in the world that we're killing. it's sad that a child has to tell off grown individuals who some are probably from government branches about the mistakes their making. a child about the age of 12 can see most the world for what it really is and yet adults are supposed to be the responsible ones. if they're to be responsible then they need to get over themselves and grow up and take responsibility for their actions. it is now 2016 and have any adults or government officials done anything? no, because they are all too greedy to see the true reality of this world, the very place where you call home is being turned into a wasteland by the minute, and yet, still no one cares. no one listens to the voice of a child, no one thinks their words matter, well for any adult who reads this, make a difference. not just for yourself, but for your children and their children and so on. I am only a child, but there is much wisdom to learn from children. their voices matter, their words matter. for all those who don't see the true reality of the world, step back, take a closer look, pay more attention to the important things in the world, try to see the whole board. for any child, adult, or anyone of any age thank you for reading this all the way through.
How old are you, precisely?
However well said
ciraDany '_' just asking, but why
just some person YESS PREACH
just some person wow. I am at a loss for words.just wow.
Aside from you not using one singe capital letter (exept "I") very well said and truly reflects on what the girl in the video said and truly meant
I was too silenced for 6 min and 30 sec
Aashun Bhandari
Tyrone Asterino
Aashun Bhandari
*I too was silenced for 6 min and 30 sec
Damn shes such a blessing to this cold cold world..
Shiva Rainchild
Isn't it sad how a child has to stand up and speak for the adult?
Amanda Angel yes
Why is your whole face black?
Also my option
Not as sad as the amount of adults that are still falling for this bull shit. LOL
It's a bullying tactic
would she be old enough now to be president????? if so, please elect her because the world needs her
She's now 21, so if she was to be elected presidents we would have to wait 16 years, because when she turns 35 it will still be 2 years until the presidents term was over.
Reading a piece of paper with info bout the environment doesnt make you a presidential canditate. She is someone supporting a better environment, not a politician.
she is Canadian, we have a prime minister, not a president
She is, in fact.
+AquaDasher (Marydean) this was made in 2008 and she said they were 12 to 13. 2016 - 2008 = 12. 12+12= 24 and you have to be 40 to run for president so no she isn't
I'm worried of what our world will become. This girl spoke the truth
Ben S.
Its now 2016... things have been wroser than ever before..
Spelling is one of them
And tolerance is too, thanks for proving my point Diamondxxcraft ;)
Diamondxxcraft I'm sorry that i was just trying to say something, thinking of all the worlds problems and all you can think about is spelling. NOICE.
Duyen Ngoc Phan Le so true. giraffes are endangered now.
Duyen Le 2017..things are worse than ever..
The 10k who disliked this, why? Give us an answer? Are you jealous?
This speech is beautiful and delicate
I'll tell you but you WILL NOT believe me. Okay here we go. The ten thousand people who disliked this video were the ones watching this video who ACTUALLY KNEW FROM THE START... ... WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY THIS CONFERENCE TOOK PLACE. THIS TOOK PLACE IN RIO DE JANEIRO IN 1992. IT WAS THE UNITED NATIONS AGENDA 21 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE. THEY WERE USING THIS GIRL TO PLAY ON THE EMOTIONS OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF ALL ATTENDING COUNTRIES WITH THE AIM OF PUSHING GLOBALISM AND GETTING EVERY COUNTRY TO ACCEPT A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT WHERE NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY WILL NO LONGER EXIST AND EVERY ASPECT OF YOURE LIFE WILL BE CONTROLLED BY THE UNITED NATIONS. THEY ARE STILL TO THIS DAY USING ENVIRONMENTALISM AS A GUISE TO ACHIEVE THE SAME GOALS. see I told you that you wouldn't believe me.was I right. Of course I was. But ask yourself.... did I really do all that research just now and come back just to answer you're question????? NO!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE I SAID. MYSELF AND THE OTHER 10 THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO WERE THE FEW WHO ACTUALLY KNEW FROM THE START. WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY THIS CONFERENCE WAS HELD.???????? RESEARCH AGENDA 21, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. I CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, AND YOU CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. BUT THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE ORGANIZATION OF THIS CONFERENCE DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. THEY WANT TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE AND HAVE A MASSIVE WORLDWIDE GENOCIDE UNDER THE GUISE OF ENVIRONMENTALISM??????????? PEACE.
Because its bullshit
cause the speech sucked lmao
Earth need generation like her
true
how about you be that generation instead of having to need?
she's the most smartest girl I've ever heard talk about this topic
Tredzz SelloutYT
Most kids sound like her. People act like this is surprising that some kid said it when everyone has been saying it for years. People just need to open their ears more.
Sometimes adults learn more from children than vice versa
Marilyn Monroe
Yeah, not today. This is just Greta Thunberg 1.0
holy shit this was 1992 and here we are 2019 and we are still alive? Holy shit I cant believe it....
this beautiful but also so sad because it's so true.
Tijana Davis
Wow 😖😖this changes the way I see things
Maruto 28 Don't Be sad , If u've realised something that you feel is right , you should start taking small steps towards the action, and that first small step is all that matter is what changes everything , Good Luck , Have a Great Future a head , and always remember That's the RIGHTEOUS are the MIGHTIEST :)
Maruto 28
The world is crying...but there are few helping hands which cannot reach out many..What do we do?? We can pray for them
Yeah because praying has worked out so well in the past.
Yep, praying has been so awesome and so useful that it has literally eradicated all types of climate changes and poverty and all human sufferings. Lets pray, now, that Donald trump vanishes into thin air. I'm pretty positive that it can happen if we pray.
Dead Santa but i'm with trump bro
Chritee Pulami i hope that was a joke
VioletxPurple joke for unbelievers!!!!!
Our ELA teacher showed this to us for class. She's the absolute best, and I won't forget for showing me something to moving.
I work as hard as I can to save water, use less paper and plastic, and keeping recyclables out of the trash. Please, instead of using that paper plate, use a glass one. Please, instead of throwing cardboard into the trash, recycle it. Please, turn off the water while brushing teeth. Please change the world and our carbon footprint.
AMEN
+Echo Sapphire Why are u here to be honest…
Nah
+Ryan Sayre Wait people don't turn off water while brushing teeth?
Tourikotcheva You'd be so surprised
And yet this amazing speach did not improve the situation, did not change the way these people think. It was only admired as a "great speach given by a child", as an entertainment realy. How sad is that?! I saw it here for the first time! I've never heard of it before, because there are always "more important" news like the dress that a british royalty wore, a nose job for some celebrity, a dog that rides a bycicle!
To be fair, a dog that rides a bicycle is quite impressive.
Jack Lab I was being sarcastic, but yes. I agree, this would be a great show! :)
ProNikegod try dictionary... ;)
ProNikegod you are A bitter little thing, aren't you?! If you dislike my comment so much - there is A little icon, showing "thumbs down". I suggest you use it and save your lectures on grammer for school. This whole conversation has ABSOLUTELY no connection to the amazing video above and I think it has no point, so I am putting AN end to it!
she has great confidence
Kishan Dhagal
I'm 16 and watching this makes me cry and worried a lot... remembering living in a province when I was 7-9 and playing in a lake, when I visited it again it's already too dirty to play to, I feel so sad that other generation will not experience how happy it was to play in a river and lake in a province all they will know is browse internet. The fact that this video is more than 20yrs makes me worried and sad even more
Smarter than most adults, it's saddening that so many people are exactly how she described... I'm scared for this earth..
KimiBow
shocking part its she is the youngest one there and speaks true things for an 13 yr old props to her
too true
+kevina warner To be fair, it was probably her parents and/or other people who helped write that. There is no way a 13 year old has the mental capability to think of a thought provoking message like that. Yes, she may have thrown in her ideas, but she did not write 100% of that.
+SNiPEOO7 I imagine, if you're gonna have an international speech infront of the UN, it wont just be your parents in on it. She definitely not did not write 50% of it.
+Elite She is david suzuki's kid ----Canada's publicly paid eco scientist -----Thats how she got here info and how she got there
+Dustin Gould Does that even really matter? What matters is SOMEONE had enough balls to stand up in front of all those glassy-eyed people and talk about something nobody wanted to talk about.
Fun fact:
Nobody listened.
cozscav EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING. It's obvious we can't change things with words alone no matter how right you may be. Action is always necessary.
it is just a thing u should think about that we could make possibel but some ppl just choose to make our world worse.
+cozscav They are listening Just Pretending they are deaf
More like: no one ever cared or will care...
Funny thing is they're trying to find cures for cancer and yet one of the most common causes for cancer are environmental issues
Unbelieveable words, that girl is the voice of a generation of 5 billion...over 7 billion and now what, it is time for a change people!
Matt073
This was said in 2008.. And still we go downhill. What is this world, if the most powerful people won't listen to people in need?
E G
It's from 1992. The video was posted in 2008.
E G how old are you
Do not look down on children because of their youth.
From their innocence and simplicity sometimes comes the wisest words and revelations.
Shes gonna be something great one day.
Yes.
***** no idea but she just seems so wise beyond her years and so well spoken that she could change lives
+Ray Mkay Her name is Amanda Todd. She died of suicide because of Cyber Bullying.
+Ray Mkay Probably not. It's the way the world works.
This video is about 20 years old now, she's currently 36 years old.
Once one great environmentalist said human beings are the only creatures on the earth who just take and take from mother nature but don't give nothing back to her.
This bureaucratic corporate system will be the main reason for the demise of Human Civilization.
Undoubtledtly the best UA-cam video i have ever seen
What kids really need to learn is that you can give all the speeches you want, things never change.
You have to try to succed
If nobody tries, how will anything worthwhile change?
People like you are definitely not going to save the world, but people like this girl are.
fuck you man. dumb ignant
I bet you're just a hoot at parties.
I honestly hate my class. I'm in grade 8, a couple months away from high school an I can't wait. I'm smart and I want to talk to people about things that I interest me like phycology and world issues. However my class decides to rather than listen to me and discus what I like, they decide to hate me. They have inside jokes about me that I don't even know. It doesn't bother me that they hate me with no reason, or if they do have a reason decide to cower and laugh behind my back rather then face me head on. No, what bothers me is that they don't care what I have to say. I get ignored, talked over, or told to just shut up. The people in my class don't care about the earth and how it is slowly dying. Or human rights across the world. Instead, they worry about the best filter. So to my class I want to say 'you are what's wrong with this world. You are the reason why older generations frown apon us. Rather then harming the world and laughing at people like me who do recycle and compost, why-
-not join them? If you have enough time to post 500 selfies a day, then you have enough time to separate that banana peel from at water bottle.'
+WillWonders Thanks. This did make me smile. :)
...and I can honestly say WOW. I applaud your desire to become involved and INFORMED. Schools no longer hone children's ability to think critically or to ask questions. Just keep smiling when you see them; you know what they don't. Let them wonder about that smile. There are others out there like you; you just have to find them. See about starting a school club.
yea very inspirational and i am going into the eight grade after this current summer break and we r so focused on who we like and telling everybody to add them on snapchat and things and also the school system is crumbling into pieces
You will win a Nobel Peace Prize if you put your heart, mind, and soul into what you love to do.
"A family 5 billion strong"
Now 7 billion
Yeah. If we go after the religious theory, we all are born from Adam and Eve. We all are brothers and sisters, we have made this technology and we're calling ourselves smart, while we still fight with weapons and our fists instead of words.
Diana DineL
7 billion now
Minh Tran that's +2 billion in just 20 years...the people of earth r soo naughty.
The real problem, is the adults. The children all believe in climate change, global warming, the loss of trees, saving the world. All of the important things, are thought by "imuture" children, when really we should be listening to them. Some of the most important things, arnt attended to, unlike other unimportant things.
Trynatie Eble nah dude this world fucked children don’t give a shit nowawadys they just listen to lil pump and think they cool. World is doomed
[CPT] xMistx and who is lil pump? An ADULT.
Donaria Kinnay then there’s lil tay. Dude every girl at my school just cares about their nails or Instagram followers. they just care about drama and to fight eachother
[CPT] xMistx don’t forget about you and possibly every heterosexual male that stereotypes.
@@milk5002 they do care you just see a particular group, and deemed all of them the same.
I am one of the youth trying also to make some different in our society but, i have realized that even you did your best, it is very difficult to convince the people around you to do something, but i didn't lose my advocacy to pursue and do the best of having some changes to fix some environmental issues to the society. Ending corruption, unity for peace and understanding each other will make a great impact to our society.
The problem is, unless you're saying what selfish people want to hear they will simply ignore you. The world nowadays revolves around money, war and personal gain sadly. Most people are not willing to accept what they have done wrong until they have no way of avoiding it. Do not target the older generations, target your generation as they will be the future and you may just be able to make your goals a reality
I would vote for her.
Frances Valdes
I wish I could like this a thousand times. awesome. it choked me up a bit to be honest
Ron Garger
When those last word left her mouth I realized that I couldn't speak and I was crying so hard that you could hear me even through walls. Those words touched my heart and I I couldn't believe what I have done so many years
"Sharing" is all what we need to change this world.
Not the communistic forced economic equality but the humane sharing of wealth for the sake of people being happy.
agree..
Yeeeah... and when they take it all away from you, what then? When they think you're obliged to give them, what then? When you become the bad one for not enabling them, WHAT THEN? A dog will keep pulling on its leash, no matter how much longer you keep making it. It's not this simple, not sharing is not the problm at all.
+Stephanie Poison I see what you're saying. But whilst sharing can lead to a dependency culture, I personally believe that it's far better than forsaking those same dependent people, without having put any effort in to help them. At the least you can say you tried. If someone tries to accuse you of being the villain for not spoon feeding them everything, it doesn't mean you really are the villain, and I'm pretty sure others will see that. I think sharing is fundamentally essential, but to a certain degree.
+Leo Nos How would you like it if someone took everything you owned, everything you worked hard for, put in all of your effort in, and gave it to some poor bangladeshi's and ugandans with the reasoning that they earn less than $1 a day, which is why they need your stuff.
How can you dislike this .?
the gop will find a way to hate her,count on that
no one should dislike this
I know right?!
Louis R it's the dumbing down of American's,what's good is evil now a days

I so wished I could live in a more peaceful generation
even when we are not in total wars. we are still not at peace.
You do live in the most peaceful generation
I FΔT really?
Well said Girrrl!! Our children can be our Profits if we will listen too them, peace and love, Doug :).
I really hope that the people she was addressing to get a lesson out of it and care a bit more about peole than money.
Sh was addressing it to you and I
Barry McCarthy I got the message.
peace brother
Barry McCarthy God bless.
As you can see by the way we are now, they didn't listen.
Great speech she gave. Deaf ears never heard it.
This girl spoke the truth. We're what we do not what we say. I wish that she could have just got a chance of bringing out such kind of speech, each month. I really love her.
2018, it's been 10 years & nothing really changed, I started to doubt if it will ever do this way...
Karim Hisham i think if im not mistaken this 30 years ago or so. The gorl has an organization now and shes in her 40's.
You should see those videos on UA-cam where hundreds of people storm stores on Black Friday, like it's a freaking battlefield. That is the definition of society today.
+Adeel Ahmed It's insane the whole black friday crowd. Something about all that makes me feel sick for humanity.
Tayohni Yep lol. I personally prefer buying things on Black Friday, but holy crap, no need to run or steal crap from others or even start fights.
If I wanted a tv or game or something, and I saw some guy take the last one, I won't pick a fight with him or something...Just wait til next year, or buy off e-bay, or hell, just wait til Cyber Monday.
+Adeel Ahmed haha ikr. people acting like they are good intentioned smart people yet they storm a shop for something they dont need.
+Adeel Ahmed What makes you believe that cases of people storming stores on Black Friday is the definition of society today?
Gosha Popov Materialism.
2017. Still the same... Look at their guilty faces
goat helga
2019 nothing changed
2021 still nothing
@@MJHero1108 lol that includes no end of the world.
(Don't downvote this before you read it):
Great, but; "Who gives a shit?". That is not my quote. It is the worlds quote. Because of Apathy. Has the world gotten better for her speech? No. Maybe it inspired you, maybe it brought a tear to your eye (as it should), but it didn't change shit. I wish it did, but it didn't.
We don't value empathy in our current society. I wish we did.
ugh no We cant, Its Impossible in this world we live in.

She would be 39 years old now. I would like to know if she still thinks the same thing now, as she did in 1992?
Yes! Her name is Severn Suzuki and she still remains an environmental activist to this day
@@daulbae So, she is still brainwashed...
@@sandytaylor2377 pretty much. I personally think someone else wrote her speech in 1992, but now that she built her fame off being an activist its easy money (and itd be weird if she went back)
she's great! even people in older age and experience won't have the same mind like her. I hope she becomes someone who can make a change to the world in future.

How many people cheered and clapped for her? But there's been no progress?
a weaboo
Kudos to that brave girl to gobsmack every world leader! She's only asking for every living creature on this planet to have the right to live as life has designed us to live. Greed was never the backbone, or the mandate of life on this planet. But it sure is now! How do we go backwards, how do we make this world a place where every living creature can be in comfort with all others, and all can live together?
Compassions triumph over indifference.
Who and where are these kids that did this?
Excellent
She was told to get Louder and Louder so it didn't seem like what she was saying is in QUESTION. Deceptive ppl helped her with this speech. Most ppl in this world ARE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR, DOING WHAT THEY KNOW IS WRONG FOR A DOLLAR. SELL OUTS. SMILING IN YOUR FACE WHILE DOING IT and talking with their Approximation of a nice sounding voice. Look alot of what this girl said is true. I appreciate it. So thank you.
A Little Child Shall Lead Them! We must all listen to this child's wisdom...and pray everyday for God's Guidance.,in all things , Ask and you shall receive! Love, Peace to all?..

People have different reasons to dislike. Not every dislike equals hate.
It's just shocking that this masterpiece was recorded when the Earth only had 5 billion people.
Very powerful indeed.
She's definitely right, about everything she said......and presented it all in a way that I find admirable in any young person who truly cares about issues beyond their own lives personally, beyond the television and the latest trends and celebrities. Most minds go no further than that, so I give this young lady huge props for speaking the words that we don't often hear these days and if so, rarely.

+Jay Te And by common sense you mean the conlclusion one should reach after being indoctrinated with nonsence, and propaganda. All I hear is the rich elite class that dont work but rather absorb the wealth of middle and upperclases laughing at us, as they have this little girl talk about how awful all this wealth is in the hands of average people and how we need state violence to remove all the money from people and have us all live on reserves, because species are dying as has been occuring since life first existed here but that does not matter facts reality, no get emotional get illogical and get real real mad at people that need less freedom to hunt teddy ruxbin, you want results attack what causes someone to hurt animals like child abuse and violent parenting, or we can just watch our history reapeat."
Must i say anything else?
(I did not say anything quoted in the paragraph above. i just agree with him)
She should say, "I'm only a child, yet I'm really the only one who cares." :'(
so right :'(
That would be narcistic. allot of people care, just not enough.
When a kid says that, i dont think it can be considered as narcissistic. Oh it is spelled like that fyi
Very true incognito 😪
.
Great speech......too bad it was among deaf ears :-(
No the people had translation devices to translate her English speech into their languages
......it still failed to matter.
Qi Huna It only falls on deaf ears if you, yourself, choose not to listen. The words, thoughts and ideas are indelible. Do what you can and worry not of the actions of others.
Personally, I really don't care because its a political move and ALL politics are FRONTS!!
To be any type of Politician, you have to be DIRTY, if not.......I 1000% GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE...........or be buried somewhere in the desert......ALIVE!!
Politics IS a way of life..
Oh, right. So that's what you're using to justify that you're amongst the deaf ears which this speech fell upon. Sounds like hypocrisy to me.
PLEASE HELP! I have been searching for a song for years now. It is a pop song, sung by a guy and it includes a part of Severn Suzuki's speech in the middle. I can't remember it well, but I remember hearing something like children singing throughout the song. I don't know any lyrics, but I remember hearing Severn say 'I'm afraid to breathe the air' clearly near the end. I know the music video has a television in it. Also, I'm pretty sure it's not Darude Sandstorm thank you. If anyone has any idea, please tell me!
