Isn’t it nice, these big multinational companies are worried about their profits… the risk to their investor’s pocketbooks.

Bugger you and your health, this isn’t an issue for them.

Did we listen 20 years ago?

The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes

No!

Will there be a similar message at Rio +20?

The reason… because it would show that future generations, our children, are not really on the agenda! It would show that in 20 years we have done nothing!

Severn Suzuki’s plea is as poignant today as it ever was, more so; because since her speech more animals have become extinct, more money has been wasted on wars, more pollution has choked our waterways, more consumers have increased their consumption.

No, we didn’t listen then.

And the biggest offenders aren’t interested in listening now.

The only green agenda item that is being considered…

is MONEY!
