Coming out of Vancouver, the Sky Fish Project lauched the petition Recognition for Responsibility at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg.

Severun Cullis-Suzuki who is at the helm of this project worked not only with the First Nations on the West coast (she was adopted into the Haida Nation) she continues her work internationally. “Often speaking on the necessity of defining our values, acting with the future in mind, and on individual responsibility; she is especially passionate about encouraging young people to speak out for their future.” ( more information is available on the web site)

First drafted in 2002 Yale Student Environmental Coalition, the petition continues to circulate across the world, and has been “signed and endorsed by thousands of responsible individuals worldwide”. [“Skyfish is a world to which everyone should have the right. But most of us live in another world – a place where consumption and excess exists beside poverty and pollution. We exist in a schizophrenic society, in a time when we can no longer afford to be unaware of the consequences of pollution and globalization, or of the values of our current economic system – when the effects of one nation’s lifestyle can have an impact on all others. Now, more than ever, we live in a time when our thoughts and actions really matter”.
