The 11th Hour

The 11th Hour is one the greatest documentary about nature and environment that I watched. It is packed with knowledge and facts about the current condition of our world. It discuss past and future problems with all its details that awakens me about the current situation of environment and how grave it is. It is an eye opener for all of us, I recommend watching it for better understanding and awareness in the situation of our world.

1. Describe some of the emotions you felt during the film. Which aspects of the video had the greatest impact on you and why?

While watching the video, I feel some emotions like sad and shock. The part in the video that has the greatest impact on me is when they discuss that people think that they are superior to all species and living things in the world.

2. What information contained in the video was new to you?

The part when they presented the urban eco environment, where some of the buildings have an eco-environmental friendly system, and some of it works like trees where they cultivate sunlight and generate it as electricity.

3. What topics presented in the film would you like to explore further? Do you know that you need to know in order to continue learning about environmental issues? If the answer to that question is no, how can you find out what you need to know?

I want to explore further about the urban eco environmental friendly system, because I’m an engineering student and it interest me. No, but with the help of the internet I think it can help me by researching further about this particular topic and the organization here in our country that focus in this kind of matter.

4. Discuss the ways that eating locally produced food is an environmental issue. What can individuals do to support local production and consumption of foods?

Because eating and patronizing locally produced food helps lessen the global warming, why? Because let’s say a banana that is from from china or hongkong, it travels so much longer with the fuel guzzling transportation than bananas that are produced locally. We can help by buying and patronizing locally produced food, that it will not get a high demand in the market and lessen the demand for imported foods.

5. Who should see this film and for what purposes? Who might be unreceptive to the ideas in the film and why?

People in the Government and those who are in power over this matters for them to see that the problem is worse than what they think it is. They themselves are the unreceptive people about this ideas in the film, because they are well aware about this problem and still do nothing.

6. Share one issue or item that you wrote on your index card while you were watching The 11^th Hour.

One issue that I wrote is about improper waste disposal and how it greatly affects us and our environment.

7. As a result of your having seen this film, what, if any, specific actions do you think you will take?

As a student I can’t do something major that will turn around all of this, but by making little steps like spreading the knowledge, advocating what has to be done and the issues at hand, I think that is the action that is realistic to what I can do for now.
