Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. 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. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind the decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 yr old Severn closed a 1992 Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation.

Here she is again nearly twenty years later addressing our understanding or lack thereof about our environment.

The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 in just over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces.  Avoid bottled water.

#AlGore delivers a powerful verbal punch to the leaders assembled in Davos in January 2023 for failing to act on the #ClimateEmergency. Current economic systems, based on unfettered use of fossil fuels are taking us to the IPCC's worst scenarios. Far from reducing emissions, we are collectively putting 16 million tons of greenhouse gases into the troposphere every day, and the number is climbing.
We applaud Al and appreciate his passion. It is sorely needed. At the same time, we hope that he comes to understand that we must limit animal agriculture as well as fossil fuels.
