What was her name? Some help?

[LaStrega]

What was the name of the (then) 12-year-old girl who spoke to (I believe) the U.N. council (in Ecuador?) years ago about "please if you can't fix it, stop hurting it," or something to that effect, concerning the planet. I know I saw the video here but my searches have come up nil. She was brilliant, and so very well spoken.

I'm online sparring with a repub (whoa big surprise. Not.), and that video would put the nail in his argument's proverbial coffin.

Thanks in advance ~ Amber

1. I think if you just go to Youtube

it comes up on the first page or you could perhaps do a search there.

2. Thanks ...

Yeah I tried that, too. Argh! I know her first name starts with an 'S' ... then I draw a blank.

I appreciate your responding. I'll keep working at it.

I'm off to pound some nails. :P

5. HEHAHAHAHAHAH

I'm a wee bit lit, just heading off to bed (after said sparring) and that made me laugh out fucking loud.

Rock on.
