Is she notable? Sounds like your average 26-year-old with a website and a vision. --Habap 21:01, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Her work itself probably isn't notable, but she seems to be. She's a figure who speaks at environmental conferences around the world, has addressed the United Nations, written an article for Time magazine, and a google test yields 777 hits, which I think is often sufficient for minor notability. She may be known to a certain degree in Canada from her television appearances there. --Nectarflowed ^T 21:18, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps including a paragraph on her early activism, which I saw hits for, would be useful. Otherwise, we're starting her activism only a couple of years ago. I think if there are things about her activities in the 1990s and a fuller explanation of the television appearances, it might be more likely to dodge a VfD. --Habap 21:33, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) Besides being David Suzuki's daughter, she's notable as a symbol of youth participation in environmentalism. I was surprised to see her featured in new (2006) English language textbooks for Japanese junior high school students. They have one of her speeches, on behalf of the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO) from 1992.
