The Girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009The world we are in today is in a mess. So we say, but what have we done about it. Most of the time nothing. A lot of talk, a lot of complaining but nothing, nothing we do about it.
It makes it more depressing when we see young ones paying attention to world’s problem, and doing something about it. This is Environmental Child Organisation, (ECO) an organisation of 12 to 13 years of age.
This little girl, Severn Suzuki, representative of the ECO speaks out on world environmental issue. At the United Nations, she got the world attention, speaking out at world environmental issues, that we as adult, world organisation must do some. The world we have today is left for us, and it is us that will leave this place to our future generation. Out of greed, human desire for gratification has robbed of this earth many things that caused pollution, earth warming and now the depletion of the ozone layer.
Today’s world economic turmoil is making the world see this problem as one big issue confronting everyone. When will the environmental issues force all governments and people to see this issue as one confronting us equally. Only when we see our actions or inactions affecting our surrounding to also affect us nonetheless, then we start to care and make the world and environment a better place to live in. Only then, our life on this planet improves.
Do watch this little girl speaking at the United Nation that got the attention of the world.
To be exact, the video is 6.41 minutes.
So let’s do something about, spread the message and make this world, our environment and our home a better place to live in.
