David Suzuki was born in Vancouver British Columbia on March 24. 1936. David Suzuki had one sister that named Marcia. The Suzuki family suffered in the world war when he was 6 years of age. David Suzuki would always go fishing with his father. The Suzuki family went through some tough times together because the government sold their dry cleaning business when he was 11 years of age and lost some money. 2 months earlier his father got sent to a labour camp in Solsqua. In the end of the war like other families, they had to move east to the Rockies. David Suzuki attended Mill Street School and grade 9 at Leamington Secondary School before moving to London at the age of 15.

In recent years he has been forceful spokesperson on the subject on climate changes. He also began his television career in 1970 with the weekly show called Suzuki on Science; it was a children show and it was about science. He also hosted a show on CBC radio one from 1975 to 1979. Through the 1970’s, he also hosted science magazines. David Suzuki published a book called The Scared Balance and later they made a five mini series on Canadian Public Television in 2005.

To conclude just remember to try to keep the environment clean. The reason that David Suzuki is my hero is because he tries to send a message that you should try to keep the environment clean. Also try to pick up garbage that is on the ground and put it in the garbage. And also keep up in school so you can get into a good College And University. And finally thank you for reading my hero, which is David Suzuki. See ya.
