Rio + 20 could give voice to young and very young people, who, once again, as twenty years ago, have personally committed themselves to propose their concerns about the environment and the current and future state of the planet to the leaders of the planet and to a wide public. Among the young protagonists of the international conference was Britney Trilford, the seventeen-year-old who opened the first day of the Earth Summit with her speech, which also hosted an even younger voice, that of XNUMX-year-old Tai'Kaiya Blaney.
In 1992, to amaze and move the world was her almost same age Seven Suzuki, then 6, who delivered a monologue that had at its center the request for a better world to live in, silencing the international audience for XNUMX minutes, as much as the length of his speech. Tai'Kaiya Blaney also renewed the desire to be able this year live in a better world, with particular reference to the damage caused by oil extraction.
In fact, he was only eleven years old Tai'Kaiya Blaney is already considered aenvironmental activist much feared by oil companies, with particular reference to Enbridge, from one of whose pipelines would have spilled into Canadian territory at least 230 thousand liters of crude oil due to a recent leak in the Alberta area. Enbridge would have refused to accept a message specifically addressed to the oil company by the girl almost a year ago, denying her access to one of the company's offices. Tai'Kaiya simply wanted to deliver an envelope with a message intended for Enbridge, but the security guards wouldn't give her a pass.
Tai'Kaiya Blaney at Rio + 20 tried to give voice to needs of future generations, and his own, to be able to live in a world that is not devastated by the oil companies' black gold rush. The young woman particularly fears that seas and oceans will soon be crowded with structures aimed at extracting oil and completely devoid of life forms. Her message was also set to music and accompanied by a video that it would already be moving the world and about which oil companies would do well to reflect.
