In her speech, Severn said that she is now afraid to go out in the sun, because of the holes in our ozone layer. She is afraid to breathe the air, because of the many chemicals around us. Severn used to go fishing with her father, until they found cancer in the fish.
In school, Severn hears of plants and animals going extinct. She hates it when people buy and throw and stuff yet unwilling to share with the needy although they have more than enough. Hence there are children starving on the streets.
Despite her age, Severn is able to think for her future and wants to stop global warming before it becomes to severe. We at Violin Lessons Singapore find such stories inspirational.
