Hello, I'm Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. - The Environmental Children's Organisation.
We are a group of twelve and thirteen-year-olds from Canada trying to make a difference:
Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We raised all the money ourselves to come six thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future.
Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come.
I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.
I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go. We cannot afford to be not heard.
I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in the ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don't know what chemicals are in it.
I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until just a few years ago we found the fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going exinct every day -- vanishing forever.
In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterfilies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.
Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?
All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I'm only a child and I don't have all the solutions, but I want you to realise, neither do you!
You don't know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer.
You don't know how to bring salmon back up a dead stream.
You don't know how to bring back an animal now extinct.
And you can't bring back forests that once grew where there is now desert.
If you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!
Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organisers, reporters or poiticians - but really you are mothers and fathers, brothers and sister, aunts and uncles - and all of you are somebody's child.
I'm only a child yet I know we are all part of a family, five billion strong, in fact, 30 million species strong and we all share the same air, water and soil -- borders and governments will never change that.
I'm only a child yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.
In my anger, I am not blind, and in my fear, I am not afraid to tell the world how I feel.
In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share.
In Canada, we live the privileged life, with plenty of food, water and shelter -- we have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets.
Two days ago here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent some time with some children living on the streets. And this is what one child told us: "I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicine, shelter and love and affection."
If a child on the street who has nothing, is willing to share, why are we who have everyting still so greedy?
I can't stop thinking that these children are my age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born, that I could be one of those children living in the Favellas of Rio; I could be a child starving in Somalia; a victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India.
I'm only a child yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this earth would be!
At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us to behave in the world. You teach us:
not to fight with others,
to work things out,
to respect others,
to clean up our mess,
not to hurt other creatures
to share - not be greedy.
Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?
Do not forget why you're attending these conferences, who you're doing this for -- we are your own children. You are deciding what kind of world we will grow up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying "everyting's going to be alright" , "we're doing the best we can" and "it's not the end of the world".
But I don't think you can say that to us anymore. Are we even on your list of priorities? My father always says "You are what you do, not what you say."
Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown ups say you love us. I challenge you, please make your actions reflect your words. Thank you for listening

生命属于我们只有一次,生命是最值得珍惜的.一个人如果连生命都可以舍弃,这
需要何等的勇气.这种勇气非一般人所能做到.
年逾古稀的老人静静地躺在病床上,他依然红润安祥的面庞好像在做着一个遥远的
梦,令你不会相信这是一个被绝症折磨了半年之久的老人.他很普通,他把自己一生所
学都奉献给了他的事业.他知道自己的生命已经走到了尽头,看到孝顺的儿女们日日夜
夜地守候在他走向极限的路途上,他很坦然地面对了死神.
也是一名普通的武警战士,义无反顾地多次在汹涌的河水里挽救起失落的生命,当
医生一次次把他从死神手里抢回来时,他支撑着虚弱的身体说,生命于人只有一次,好
好珍惜吧.而他生命的意义已远远超越了他生存的价值.
是的,生命于人只有一次,不论它是平凡的也好,伟大的也好,珍惜生命就应注重
它存在的价值.那种革命志士的自杀行为,恰恰是体现了生命的终极力量和核心价值.
虽然生命仅仅是一个过程,甚至是一个转瞬即逝的过程,甚至是短暂得如同天穹中一颗
消隐的流星,但人的生命却是宇宙万物中的奇迹,我们能够拥有一次生命的历程,已是
何等的荣耀,何等的自豪,何等的幸福了.但是,我们在生后能留下什么呢?
伟人在身后留下一座丰碑,哲学家在身后留下博大深遂的思想,诗人在身后留下慑
人心魄的情感,画家在身后留下瑰丽珍贵的遗产……可我们是芸芸众生里的一员,平凡
得如同路基下的一粒石头.既然来到了这个世界上,就不要抱怨自己的选择或不能选择
,在平凡的时光里,让自己生命里的一切思想、情怀、品格盛开成三月如诗如画的原野
,在寂寥的人生路途上,用生命去唱一支热烈而充实的歌.回过头来看看,我们决不会
遗憾,因为我们曾经真诚地生活过.
生命该何时何地何因终结,谁也无法预料.生命属于我们只有一次,既然命运把我
们圈定在平凡的位置上,那我们就应当活出一个凡人的价值来.有一首小诗写道：融进
银河,就安谧地和明月为伴照亮天长；没入草莽,就微笑着同清风合力染绿大地.这样
,才算得上是善待生命,不负年华.
类似问题3：英语演讲稿(关于全球环境保护\关爱地球的主题)[英语科目]
Protection of Environment 1. 目前环保还存在着许多问题. 2. 为了保护环境,3. 各国政府做了大量的工作. 4. 我的看法. There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities. To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today. In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves. 保护环境 目前环保还存在着许多问题.最严重的问题就是空气、水和土壤的严重污染.污染的空气对人类的健康十分有害.污染的水引起疼病,造成死亡.更有甚者,随着现代社会的迅速扩建,植被大大的减少. 为了保护环境,各国政府做了大量的工作.采用了立法措施控制大气污染,保护森林资源和海洋资源,制止任何环境污染.因此,在当今的环保中政府起着最重要的作用. 我的看法是,为了保护环境,政府应当采取更具体的措施.首先,应当通过教育的方法使人们充分謒到环境保护的重要性.第二,应更加努力把计划生育政策付诸实施,因为人口多就意味着污染严重.最后,要严惩那些故意破坏环境者.使他们破坏环境就是毁灭人类自己.
