A then 12-year-old Canadian girl, Severn Cullis-Suzuki, addressed a UN conference in Brazil and made a strong statement in 1992, 18 years ago. She does not pronounce the word "responsibility," but that is exactly what she is referring to: the responsibility of those who have the power to decide.

But Ms. Cullis-Suzuki’s lucidity shows how environmental concerns and responsibilities were brought into the public arena as early as the seventies.
