If you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!

David Suzuki, one of my most favorite people on this planet, was in town a few days ago on a book tour for the his most recent release 'the autobiography' and of course I wasn't going to miss it...even if it was way down in the wretched South end of the city.

He mostly summarized his autobiography while a slideshow and video clips played throughout the hour and a half presentation. The highlight of his talk, though, was when he spoke of the 1992 Earth Summit in Brazil and how his twelve year old daughter, Severn, desperately wanted to attend with ECO - Environmental Children's Organization - she and a few friends formed in the 5th grade. They ended up raising $14,000 and flew to Brazil to set up their booth. Severn even said a speech at the conference which David had on video and showed to us. It sent chills down my spine watching this twelve year old girl express her extreme concern for our planet and all species on it while giving those policy-makers a piece of her mind. Fourteen years ago.

Here is a link in case you're interested in reading her speech. I highly recommend you do.
