The 11th Hour is a 2007 documentary film, created, produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, on the state of the natural environment. This film indicates many environmental problems caused by human. The problems are including the planet's life systems, global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats. Human are at the last seconds of the 12hours life.
The problem is not global warming, the problem is not waste, the problem is the way what we are thinking. We still have chance to change the situation of environment.
David Suzuki said that in the 4,000,000,000 years of earth’s history, 99.9999% of species ever existed have become extinct. So, it’s not unnatural for human beings as a species to become extinct. It is a shame that human is taking more than 54,000 species a year to extinction.
Oceans and rainforest can produce oxygen; absorb carbon dioxide, control climate weather and temperature. But green house gas is increasing with the development of human industry. There have lots of waste when people production product. Sea contains a large number of toxic substances and heavy metals. The desert is expanding, rainforest in the disappearance. the polar ice caps are melting and the earth has become more and more hot.
As a designer what we design should consider the environmental development problems. We also should consider how our products influence people to protect environment. The way and material of production is also important that industry could reduce more waste and pollution.
