Artists and MusiciansAbout this Custom Collection
Let's hear from our children on their social, environmental, cultural, and economic concerns around sustainability and always acting responsibly with the next seven generations in mind. This poster from the Earth & Spirit Council's Earth Day 2012 Ceremony in Portland, Oregon is a collaborative effort of students and friends. It conveys hope, love, and concern as we know we will find in the children's voices of sustainability.

Speaking on Behalf of Children by Severn Cullis-Suzuki |
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. EarthSayer Severn Cullis-Suzuki |
