At the Rio Summit in 1992, Canadian environmentalist Severn Cullis Suzuki came to be known as the girl who silenced the world for five minutes. She was 12 years old when she delivered a speech highlighting environmental devastation.

Since then, although technology has changed drastically, we are still not equipped to deal with environmental challenges. It is with this intention that the senior faculty members at Wilson College decided that it was time to bring students to the forefront with Green Fest, an event aimed at spreading awareness about climate change.
