The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes
Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. When she was nine 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 year old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation.

www.storyofstuff.com From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever. www.butterflypeacepath.com In order to be effective peacemakers in these challenging times, we need to adopt daily practices that remind us what peace actually feels like in our bodies.
