    • Abstract:
      The article presents information regarding Severn Cullis-Suzuki, the child environmentalist who has delivered a speech on the political representatives at the Rio Earth Summit when she was 12-year old. Being a child environmentalist, she and her group started little projects like cleaning the beach, raising funds for worthwhile projects and distributing newsletters to other kids about what they were learning. When heard about the summit she along with her team decided to be there to represent children and they set up a booth there to spread their message. When they were about to leave Rio, they were invited to give a speech, which they utilized to share their anxieties and spread their message.
