Severn Suzuki's speech at Rio+20

[@DrequimaX]

Her voice is right, but no one will listen..... because there is no money in it..... Same thing happens with every good person.....

[@luticia]

I don't want to think that way but I think you're right :-(((((((((((((((

[@tzarinacesar]

sad but true 😢

[@feero9680]

DREQUIM Why is there money for weapons rather than foods?

[@brucetrahan5956]

there has been no change because we are enslaved and don't know it. What is the best built cage in existence? The one you don't know your in. Wake up to the reality of truth. The truth is the key to unlock unity. The truth is the key to unlock the chains that enslave us. The truth is the power to open our eyes too love. Wake up slaves.

[@kitkatbabe1258]

As a 15 year old, I am truly inspired by her actions, at the age of 13 to have a loud opinion and to continue this for 20 more years! I mean her drive to make things better really is something, I cannot express how I feel when I see people like that. She made a lot of true points, and it makes me reflect on my own, and others actions, how selfish we are with technology and new things generation after generation, but some people can make a difference. I was watching Malala Yousafzai before and I ended up at this video. I can tell people like that are good people, but not because of their words or actions, to be a good person at Heart, you have to believe in what you're saying, to keep fighting and to have that fierce look in your eyes. That is beautiful. Respect.

[@silvershck5237]

You are right! :) 100% .. You're a good Person

[@vukiczlatan]

+kitkatbabe12 As a 40 years old, I can tell You she it being silly!!! After 20 years nothing has changed... as she was 12 or 13 she was prepaired and paid to go to speak on that conference... and that`s all!!! She didn`t change anything and she keep on saying the same thing seeing that she is interesting to different media!!! You may wonder how much money she get for each speach???

[@silvershck5237]

Златан Вукић​ u may wonder why nothing has changed? Its because of the Government. They don't listen to her..

[@vukiczlatan]

+DarkFusionHD So where is the beauty of the speech when it is not been heard? I believe she says good things, but to the wrong people. Neider Goverment nor any of us is able to change something on that level!!! I believe that the sience had made so that we have the manufacturers that make different thing whitch are direct or indirect pollute the nature.... so now is again up to sience to make the things right!!! The manufacturer you can`t take the greed out.... they will die greedy, but with the sience you could redirect them to earn by selling what is not so bad for the nature!!!If they would sell cars not with Otto-Motor, but with Akkus it would be something, wouldn`t it? I believe You knew that already!!! She knew it as well... everybody knows it, but we are still not able to change anything

How come everyone totally agrees with those words yet nothing changes? How come people were silenced for the whole speech in 1992 and very pensive after, cause they absolutely knew she was right? How come 20 years later this still is a subject, cause they all just nod in agreement yet get back to normal and nothing changes? Is all we can do just talk? Time to act! As it was all those years...how many opportunities have been missed since she spoke up back then?

I admire how you spoke out against the very little change we are making but with your help, we can be strong together. What are you personally doing to accelerate this change you want to create? You can't wait for others to make a difference for you, you have to take initiative yourself. I suggest, as a fellow activist, become a global citizen and take small little actions there. www.globalcitizen.org

[@mikasinha6065]

The thing is, we all are complementing how good Suzuki's speech was and complaining that the state won't listen to what she says..BUT folks, true the state has power, but we aren't any better if we do nothing against it and don't tell me, that we can't do nothing, the state doesn't tell us, how often we take a bath and if it has to be warm water or not, the state doesn't tell us to buy food from other countries, rather than local produced one, the state doesn't tell us to use plastic bags, rather than paper bags, the state doesn't tell us, to buy the newest phone, even though our old one is still fine, the state doesn't tell us to buy tuna or meat, when we can eat also more vegetables, there are a lot of good things that don't contain meat, i am not telling you to be a vegetarian, but to live a little bit more healthier and the state doesn't tell us to be lazy, to use plastic dishes, rather than to do the dishes, we don't have to drive with the car for only a few yards, the state doesn't make our decisions, we do, so let's make the right decisions^^

[@ponyozzang]

Mika Sinha Gold.

[@67angie]

I do what I can but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I do avoid plastic whenever I can but with most products I have no choice. I bought paper bags and use them despite the comments I get. I unwrap that crappy plastic and leave it in the supermarkets so they finally wake up and stop just wrapping everything. I leave the car at home whenever possible, though walking is a challenge for me. I don't eat meat and I buy ( double price) eggs from happy hens who have a life outdoors. But they still wrap up vegetables and fruit, they still fill up all Softdrinks in plastic bottles. They still treat animals like they were resources and not living, feeling beings. I even bought hair soap to avoid shampoo bottles and ruined my hair with that crap 😏 But even if everyone acted with caution as to not do any more damage to our planet, still the government who could ban plastic entirely, think of profit and costs only.

[@clivejbarrett]

I was just listening to your father on the radio here in Australia. He mentioned your name, and having listened to your words it is no surprise that Dr Suzuki is your father. Unfortunately, even the passion of you both and many of us in the world are unable to break the concept, the fragile shell, the foolishness of infinite growth and GDP that continues to tempt some on this planet. Life begins with a breath, and will end with a breath, has been that way, and always will be. Thankfully LOVE will always fill us all with joy and fulfillment.

[@nickmillman]

Hi Severn I remember the video 5 mins that silenced the world and I wanted to say that I'm happy that the world has changed for this dream to have come true !!!! Back in the 1990s it was a crisis and now it is so much splendour and promise for the world !!! You were very brave to speak to the UN all those years ago Thank you so much for people like you in the world Nick

[@positivemindset9141]

as a 13-year-old, I feel so inspired by her when I learn about her in school. When I pass "forests", I see so much trash lining the sides of the roads. My school has shown me your speech and I can not express how amazed I was that someone my age had this much courage and knowledge and bravery to stand up in front of a group of older people, seemingly much more important than her (is that offensive? it's not supposed to be), and tell them exactly how she feels. With confidence. And courage. And she knew exactly what she was talking about. Some kids have ideas that after a while they just give up on or forget within a week. She has one goal that she still speaks out about to this day. I wish that I could have this much bravery to speak out against this with her, but I do not. I do not know as much as she does about the issue and I do not know how to fix it. The only thing I do to prevent pollution is not litter. One time I picked up trash beside a store. But she has done so much more than just pick up trash beside a store, and for that I thank her. Thank you, Severn Cullis-Suzuki, for trying to make this world a better place. Thank you

[@elenalb]

Thank your for doing what you do you are so powerfull, thank you for raising your voice with no doubt with anything but pure truth, thank you for making me and millions of people have faith and hope for tomorrow, for been optimist, thank you.

We are doing a project, and she is a mesmerising inspiration so i am willing to let her join the project by adding this video and showing my friends and teachers that we NEED to change the world! And that this girl is telling us to actually do something this time, not wait for our leaders to do it for us!

There's already enough people protesting, raising awareness and appealing to emotion. We need people with actual brains, creativity and resources to take action and solve problems. There's plenty of those people and institutions out there but things are not always going the way we want and progressing as fast as we would like. It's a long ugly road with a lot of speedbumps. Welcome to reality.

I thought she was scared of breathing the air back in 1992 because it was supposed to be so polluted, but here she is, healthier than ever, even the world didn't die like they promised us and now there is this new little girl being used by the UN telling us exactly the same thing and blaming the previous generations, which Severn Suzuki herself now belongs to as well. I can promise you, in 20 years there will be a new little girl telling us exactly the same thing while the world will be perfectly fine.

Si los seres humanos, debemos exterminar todo para luego desaparecer, no somos una especie con raciocinio, somos más ignorantes que una hormiga. Y si hay muchos que no están de acuerdo con la extinción de toda vida, no nos estamos uniendo ni haciendo nada para detener el fin. Los políticos y las corporaciones no son más numerosos que el resto de la humanidad. El poder está en nosotros, en nuestros votos y en nuestra participación ciudadana como consumidores.

[@justinleong2589]

Actually our environment indeed improving. 1. Most countries including US and China agreed to reduce carbon admission. 2. Many countries also reduce the use of plastic bags or using biodegradable plastic. Which we as a consumer can witness. 3. Petrol car nearly able to be replaced by electric car. As we can see there are many electric cars that launch and it is just a matter of time for it to come to the market. 4. Believe it or not, our ozone layer is indeed healing. Scientist predicted that by 2080. Our ozone will be fully recovered. 5. Our electric appliance are improve with high effeciency to reduce power consumption. 6. In logging, many contries practice logging rotation in order to preserve the existing forest. 7. We also genetically created a type of bacteria that can degrade oil spill in the sea. 8. The rubbish we trown many csn be recycled into many useful items. Other non recyclable materia will be incenerated and use that heat energy to ganerate electricity. And many more.... Things aren't just as easy as it sounds. Different people will have different ideology, which will leads to warfare. But as you can see, compared to last time, it is not easy get in to war. We are not the human we used to be. As we can see North Korean leader, Kim signed to be peace with south Korea peacefully. The moment you become world leader you will understand, it us actually not that easy.

[@lucystephanieproperties]

Yeah that's right. We need to take action on our own and with citizen engagement + government laws and mandates and action. Manila Bay cleanup was a hoax just to do another reclamation. Ugh.

[@sylvanmoir4094]

One main reason why the "ecological crisis" can sometimes get so much public support then falls back into supposed irrelevance is that focus can be kept on the ongoing supposed economic crisis. This latter is actually the normal behaviour of a system utterly dysfunctional and squewed and divorced from reality because it is a CON. The whole thing is a carefully controlled confidence trick managed by financiers and people in pokey offices - because of the way credit works. The credit sytem is carefully crafted exploitation and madness, with an inbuilt need to always "grow" even to stand still- with ever-increasing devastation built into ints dna, with a debt-based reliance on harsher and harsher technology to draw sustenance for its parisitic proclivities from the sun (oil - fossil fuel etc) and earth, completely regardless of the damage done or the cost to the living earth. All brands of experts support this - subtly or not so subtly - even medical experts for instance - and as Severn says the whole toxic paradigm - including the current credit sytem and large areas of what passes for science - in its barbaric materialism - have to be re-thought for us to have any chance at all.. But it does seem clear that whatever solutions may exist and transpire - they will have now to include extreme social, economic and technological collapse and maybe disaster.
