What a powerful video. This young girl is amazing. I wish I had half her strength at that age. Well worth watching and passing on. A strong reminder we must do everything in our power to help save the environment for our children and our children's children in the future.

Ouch! That video made me proud of that little girl but it also made my heart hurt. Thanks for posting it.

Wow, what do you say to that...not that it will do any good but, I think more people should hear her speech. And yes, "Ouch" was the first word that came to my mind.

This brought tears to my eyes as I watched and listened. The children, the animals of the world, our county's natural beauty, all suffer for the decisions our nations make. You can't take it with you, so why all the greed?

It is up to us all to continue making the case for our natural resources. Thank you for this post!

Hi Debra, we haven't heard the last of this young girl. Maybe she should have got the Nobel prize.

Debra, What a way to start off my Monday morning! This young girl from Vancouver demonstrated her determination and strength...much more so than most adults I know, including myself. I do wish President Obama the strength to get our two wars stopped...to inspire our leaders to actually "Lead" and produce instead of bickering day and night over "Party" lines... Thank you for starting my week with this video...I am going to try to do better myself, because of it.

Debra, that is one smart little girl.

If she reached one person with that speech, then she's accomplished a great deal.

However, I'm thinking she touched many more than one person.
