Hello, My name Severn Suzuki, speaking for ECO -
Environmental
Children's Organization.We are a group of Canada which
consisted of children aged 12 and 13 years
old, who tried to make a difference: Vanessa Suttie,
Morga, Geister,
Michelle Quiq and myself. We raise funds to be able to
come here
as far as 6000 miles to tell you
all the adults that you must change your ways, today here,
too.
I do not have a hidden agenda. I want a future for myself
only.
Loss of the future is not the same as losing the general
electionor losses in the stock market. I was here to speak
forall the generations to come.
I was here representing the children wrote hunger around
the world that cries no longer heard.
I was here to speak for the animals dyingcountless
throughout the planet because of the loss habitat. We can
not not listen.
I was afraid to be under the sun becauseberlubangnya ozone
layer. I was afraid to breathe becauseI do not know what
the chemicals carried by air yg.
I often fishing in Vancouver with my dad to someyears ago
wefound that the fish full of cancers.And now we hear that
animals and plants oneindividually extinct every day -
gone forever.
In my life, I have a dream to see a large collectionwild
animals, jungles and tropical forests full ofbirds and
butterflies. But now I do not know if these thingsit even
still there to see my son later.
Are you all having to worry about small problems thiswhen
you are all still the same age I am now serperti?
All this happened in front of us and although we stillact
like we still have a lot of time and allsolution. I was
just a kid and I do not haveall solution. But I want you
all to realize thatyouall the same as me!
You do not know how to fix a hole in our ozone layer.You
do not know how how to restore the salmon fish in the
riverorigin.You do not know how to restore the animals
thatextinct.
You do not know how to fix a hole in our ozone layer.You
do not know how how to restore the salmon fish in the
riverorigin.You do not know how to restore the animals
thatextinct.
Here you are delegates your country. Entrepreneurs,
members ofassociations, journalists or politicians - but
really you arefather and mother, brothers and sisters,
uncles and aunts- And you all are children of a person.
I was just a kid, but I know that we allis part of a large
family, whose members are morefrom 5 billion, consisting
of 30 million families andwe all shareair, water and soil
on the same planet - borders and governmentswill not
change it.
I was just a kid but once I know that weall face the same
problems and we should unitefor the same purpose.
Although angry, but I'm not blind, and even fear, I do
notFeel free to tell the world what I feel.
In my country, we are very much to waste. Webuy something
and then thrown away, to buy and then discard.Although it
remains only countries in the North will not be sharedwith
those in need.Even when we have more than enough, we feel
afraid tolose some of our wealth, we are afraid to share.
In Canada we have a comfortable life, with clothing,
foodthe affluent and the board - we have at
hand,bicycle,computer and television equipment.
Two days ago here in Brazil, we were surprised when
wespending time with children who live on the streets. And
oneone child told us: "I wish Irich, and if I'm rich, I
will give street childrenfood, clothing and medicines,
shelter, love and compassiondear ".
If a child who was on the streets and do not have
any,willing to share, why do we who have everything
stillso greedy?
I can not stop thinking that these children agedsame with
me, that place of birth you can make a differenceis so
great, that I might be one of thechildren who live in the
Rio Favellas; I could be a childthe famine in Somalia; an
eastern war victimsmiddle orbeggars in India.
I was just a kid, but I know that if allmoney spent on the
war used to reduce the level ofpoverty and find answers to
the problems of nature, howwould the world be beautiful.
At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us todo good.
You taught us to not fight withothers, to find a way out,
clean up the messwe caused; to not harm other living
beings, toshare and not greedy. Then why did you then do
theYou taught us that not to do it?
Do not forget why you are attending this conference, why
youdo this - we are your children all. You sekalianlahwho
decides, what kind of world would we live. Parentsit
should be able to givecomfort in their children withsays,
"Everything will be fine, 'we do thatThe best we can do
and this is not the end of theeverything. "
But I do not feel that you can say itto us again. Do we
even exist in your priority listall? My dad always said,
"You will always be remembered fordeeds, not by your words
".
So, what you do makes me cry at night.You adults say that
you love us. IYour challenge, try to realize those words.
Thank you for your attention.***********
