04. Question 4

Asked by: Sri Aurobindo International (2) | Kantonsschule Oerlikon (1)

In 1992, at the age of 12, Severn Cullis-Suzuki and her friends traveled to 1992’s Rio Earth Summit, where she gave a powerful speech that deeply affected the leaders who heard it. She became known as “The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes.” She hasn’t stopped since, starting several groups and projects and becoming a dynamic, luminous light in a new generation of eco-leaders. She says: “Each individual really does count. And the more I've thought about it, the more I've realized that each person is a role model to all the people around us. That's how cultures evolve and things become cool--the influence of a few individuals that catches on.”

 

What change can YOU make?

the most important thing is that everybody makes a change, that everybody wants to save our planet. everybody needs to realize how important that is, but they should protect the planet because they want to and not because they must.

we also think that the little things are very important, the things that everybody can do to save the climate for example: using energy saving lamp or try to use a car as rarely as possible. or to power down all electric things before you go to bed or leave the house.

these are all examples that we (the writer of this text) do. what do you do?

 

the girl did a great job by giving this speech and maybe she made people realize how important it is to protect the planet and maybe these people changed after but everyone should realize it by himself and decide for himself to do something.

what do you think about this opinion?
