    It's an environmental speech, I didn't listen to the whole thing, but would like to read a transcript, if one exists.

    The young lady in this video is David Suzuki's daughter. Some time ago I watched a documentary hosted by Mr. Suzuki wherein her public address was featured. David Suzuki is a well known and respected environmentalist who resides in Vancouver (David Suzuki Foundation). This young lady has an amazing mentor in her father.

    That speech is 20 years old. It was presented in 1993. Scary, that as far as I can tell, we haven't done much to improve the situation since then. Here is a transcript and more info:
