15 years ago Severn Suzuki (daughter of geneticist and eco-activist David Suzuki) addressed the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

Just as it tried to do with Ralph Nader, Big Business has fought back with vicious slurs against Dr Suzuki's integrity - instead of simply cleaning up its act.[Thanks to Kehlana for bringing this clip to my attention.]
