the 11th hour dialogue reactions and comments

the 11th hour is a very good piece of film, it is in fact a film that should be shown to all people around the world, it's not an entertainment film, but it's really a world class movie to showcase. We are to movies which give us entertainment, yes it's human nature to watch film for entertainment, but this one is a hundred percent informative movie.

The movie tells about what's happening in the world in the present time, by that given information, the people could take necessary precautions about anything they do about the environment, it's important, why? because it's our home, while we thought of the media as something who gives us the best information at all times at all cost, well this movie tells us more, not so much of something that is somehow a selfish information, or something not worthy to talk about, what else is more important than our health and our home? here is one of the many dialogues that struck me the most.

Kenny Ausubel: "When we all talk about "saving the environment" in a way it's misstated because the environment is going to survive. We are the ones who may not survive. Or we may survive in a world we don't particularly wanna live in."

This line is about the greatest line in the movie, for me it's full of emotions and it would really strike the attention of the listeners, when we think of ourselves to be some superior being, well it's true, we humans are the smartest creation, i may not say that we are the "greatest" creation because we lie to the bracket of the most influential changer of the environment, even though we have the mind to do almost anything that it can perceive, we are not in control of our attitude towards our consciousness about our home, what is for us to achieve if we don't have anything left, what if our earth would not make us control of its life cycle, then the moment the earth stops moving, are we going to freeze as well?

Kenny Ausubel said in the movie that the environment is something that we could change in the matter of saving it, but the reality is we are almost our of control of it, that i'm afraid that one day, the only thing we could do is to wait for our consequences and bills to pay when the earth struck in return to our abuse of it.

Footprint Analysis

The Earth is not as big as we could just see it from the space, yes it is huge and yes we are tiny, but then analysis of something in huge quantity may lead to a ratio not far from 1 is to 1 when talking about the Earth's resources against the needs of the people. We have underestimated the cause of every human being to the earth, like what i said in my first post, we cannot see the big things if we don't start counting them as smaller partitions of a huge group of organisms called humans, eco footprint could give respect to the fact that we have to consider the statistics of our needs to the earth's ability to supply it.

let us consider this as an example, today we have about 7.12 billion people around the globe and counting, we have lost the control of our population and to sustain our health, we have to adjust the supplies, and for adjusting the supplies, we have to consider the raw materials needed to maintain the quantity of the supplies. The world today is at its scarce state, our sphere home has counted down to its emptiness, it's like having a haircut every week where time is not enough for it to grow enough to be able to cut, a sponge that human squeezes even if there's no drop of resource available anymore.

the land surface of the earth is about 148 million square kilometers, a household has statistically got a 1 hectare of land per capita, and 1 hectare is 0.01 square kilometers, how could we even budget everything in our home if we are too crowded. we have not yet considered the part of that 148 million square kilometers which are not fertile, which in urban places' case, the land area which our houses and other buildings are built.

it is now a call time for us, it's quite an alarming fact to us that these eco footprint relatively gives us a huge amount of numbers, but then we should take this opportunity to take part of the environment by not just preventing the abuse of people by illegal approach to nature, but also preventing the abuse of people by taking substantial consumption to our resources, that by any means of a source maybe distributed so that not all would desperately get another, which our earth is paying. Let us not make our only home PAY for the price of our indiscipline consumption.
