The Girl Who Silenced the UN For 5 Minutes

Amazing address of a 12-year old girl at an international conference on the environment. From Wikipedia: In 1992, at the age of 12, Cullis-Suzuki raised money with members of ECO, to attend the Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro. Along with group members Michelle Quigg, Vanessa Suttie, and Morgan Geisler, Severn presented environmental issues from a youth perspective at the Summit, where she received a standing ovation for a speech to the delegates. The group also addressed delegates at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. More info on her at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severn_Cullis-Suzuki
