Video Reflection - 11th Hour

Our earth is a planet of finite resources. Such a shame that many people think otherwise. Although not everyone has this mindset, it does not change the fact that our earth resources are declining. We need to create a more solid stance to save our home, something that is missing though the economy powered by ignorant companies.

People have taken this planet for granted. We are blindsided by the availability of technology. Did you know that the so called technology you are depending on is made of non-renewable resources? Yet people rely on these technology to find a solution to our limited resource issue. Nature is something that is irreplaceable. Technology may help but it cannot stop our recourses from declining in numbers. In fact, technology is fast consuming our resources, accelerating the degradation of our planet. Once this environment has been exhausted through the damaging footprints humans leave behind, how will we continue to live. These damages has causes major global warming across the planet and have become a major issue which scientists have been battling with. Our earth is going barren and unsuitable for living.

This video is a good wake up call to all of us who has loss that sense of caring to this planet, something we loss along the way through the life this world has offered. We as a designer has that knowledge to create products which can make a significant impact. We must realise this knowledge and be aware of the current state of our planet and try as much as we can to convey this message in our design to bring about change.

While as a consumer, we need to start thinking about our purchase decisions. We have the knowledge to change how we think and live. Live smarter and greener in every step of our life. It does not have to be a big decision, even a small simple habit can make a difference to this world. We live in this earth, therefore we are responsible for rehabilitating this scarred planet. Act responsibly for a future we all long for.
