"Wars have been lost," Berman told Glave "because the generals were still fighting the last war." Berman's quotes that day were coming from her feelings, she felt as though people were worrying about the wrong issues when we have bigger problems ahead. In 2008, Berman launched a movement called "PowerUp Canada," which lobbies lawmakers and citizens to change destructive policies that contribute to the changing climate. Berman couldn't understand how people looked over her vision of a clean, environment friendly society. She would had to plead her case to be heard and that's what she felt as if she was born to do. Susanne Faye Tzeporah Berman was born to a middle-class Jewish family in London, Ontario, on February 5, 1969. She enjoys being an environmental activist and author. Berman is committed to preventing the harsh effects that us people have on the world. She had many followers, but not all of them agreed with her because some of her projects that she suggested in the name of energy efficiency would have a negative impact on the very rivers and valleys she had worked so hard to protect. Some felt as if it was more important things to be worrying about. Berman will never stop to get her point across, rather its writing, protesting, or educating she's down for the job!.
Berman had to become a strong person at a very young age. At only fourteen, Berman lost her father to a bad heart-bypass operation, and not even two years later her mother lost a battle to cancer. Berman had an older sister named Wendy that stepped up and kept the family going steady. Wendy was only twenty at the time. By the time Wendy was twenty-one, she assumed legal guardianship of her siblings. It was four siblings in total, Wendy (the oldest), Corinne, Tzeporah, and (the youngest) Steven. They survived off of their parents' life insurance policies, part-time jobs, and the sale of nearly all of their parents' assets.
