In 1992, the first UN Earth Summit(峰会) was held in Rio de Janeiro. Thousands of people from around the world h for it to talk about the Earth's tomorrow. Twelve-year-old Susan and three of her friends formed a group. They raised money to travel to Rio to a the summit.
At the summit, Susan said that the state of the environment w her a lot. "You don't know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer (臭氧层). You don't know how to bring back forests that once g where there is now desert. If you don't know how to fix the Earth, please stop b it!" The six-minute speech silenced all the people and made them fall into deep thinking.
After that speech, Susan began to lead "two lives." On the t days, she was a schoolchild. But during her vacations, she s internationally about the environment.
Now, nearly 30 years has passed since Susan made her Rio speech. Although many of the world's environmental problems have only become w , Susan does agree that some things are different now. More and more people give voice like Susan because they have realized the importance of the environment
"Thirty years ago, I was fighting for my tomorrow. Now, I am fighting for the f of my sons," says Susan, now a mother of two, who has kept calling people's attention to climate change.
