Severn Cullis-Suzuki UN Earth Summit

Severn Cullis-Suzaki is an environmental activist, speaker, television host and author.  When she was 9 she started the Environmental Children’s Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues.  In 1992, at the age of 12, Suzaki raised money with her group to attend the Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro where she received a standing ovation for a speech to the delegates.
