Severn Suzuki - an old soul in a young body - laid it on the line in 1992...
This young woman is now 31... and really, nothing has changed for the better in the two decades since she made that impassioned plea to the United Nations for the grown-ups to get real and responsible...
If we kill the earth, we kill ourselves...
So it would seem logical that we ought not to kill the earth, that we ought to nurture her, care for her, protect her, nourish her, VALUE HER...
But some of us, it seems, know the cost of everything and the value of nothing...
Instead of having stars in our eyes, too many of us are blinded by dollar signs...
And that short-sighted vision can't see value in any form other than profit and loss columns...
And that short-sighted vision can't see value in any form other than profit and loss columns...
I wonder how many zeros you'd need
and how wide the column would have to be,
to measure the loss of the earth
and all that lives on, in and above her?
