1.) Describe some of the emotions you felt during the film. Which aspects of the video had the greatest impact on you and why?
During the film viewing I felt a bit sadness and happiness. First I felt sadness, because most of the scenes or information presented are true. Those are the realities in life. But in the end, they did not stop in giving out problems. They provided probable solutions for it and it is already in our hands to grab the opportunity to save mother earth and help in sustaining it.
The aspect in the video that had the greatest impact to me was the revelation that we humans causes these problems. Technologies are there but it is in our hands to use it properly and wisely. The very reason why these things are happening are not the technologies, but is.
This gave me the greatest impact, because at least in this video, these speakers had the courage to reveal the truth. We are really the main reason, and it seems we gave a problem to ourselves. Strong typhoons or big calamities are not by chance nor by fate. It is because of the things we do in our daily lives.
2.) What information contained in the video new to you?
The part of the video that was new to me is the information that this earth do really have longer life, but earth will not die because of age. It might die because of the continuous increase of temperature. Every year it rapidly increase and every year new strong calamities approaches us and its main reason is not technology, but us, Human. Earth could survive the very high temperature, but we human will not be able to make it, and we might be the one who will not want to live anymore in this world.
3.) What topics presented in the film would you like to explore further? Do you know what you need to know in order to continue learning about environmental issue? If the answer to tha question is no, how can you find out what you need to know?
I want to explore furthermore with its main topic, Global Warming. Exploring more of its effect in our environment will let the people be aware of the effects of the very little things we do. Because of global warming there are a lot of effects of the things we do, such as deforestation, pollution and misused of the technologies.
Yes, basically what we need to know more are the problems and its main roots. After knowing these things, then it is time to further study the probable solutions. But time moves fast. We need to give rapid solution. If technology helps us to makes things to be done fast. Then let us use it to restore the environment fast. We must be aware, we are already in the 11th hour. It is not only the 11th hour but it is 11:59:59. We are already a very small time remaining.
4.) Discuss the ways that eating locally produced food is an environmental issue. What can individuals do to support the local production and consumption of foods?
Eating locally produced food becomes an environmental issue when there is an excess of consumption. Since the number of human continuously increase, the number of food that should be consumed do also increases. As we see, over population is one main reason of global warming. Because of over population, this causes to have over consumption and extinction of animals, since we need shelter we are into build it. This causes deforestation, and with deforestation, it will cause flood, soil erosion and lots of other problems. Then it will cause the Global warming which will cause climate change.
This is what we call the chain effect. Basically there are lots of things that human can do. Each human can help the production of foods. This will help increase the food production. This will increase the food to be consumed and will prevent the chain effect to continue.But to prevent it completely we humans, must have Discipline to ourselves. We must prevent over population to prevent over consumption.
An over or less is the start of the problem. And it is our objective to eliminate these things. Everything must be put into equilibrium. Humans must also prevent over consumption of foods People must let the production and excess should be taken, there should be enough for the production to continue. It is like killing all women or men in the world. Killing them will stop increase in population. And extinction will rise. As the video showed about 95% of species had already became extinct. Let us do our very best so that human and the world will not be gone.
5.) Who should see this film and for what purposes? Who might be unreceptive to the ideas in the film and why?
Evey human must watch this film, because what is being discuss here, can affect our own lives. And their awareness to the current situation of the environment will increase. Letting every human watch this fill will help sustain the environment.
Babies seem to be the only people who will be unreceptive in watching these ideas. People who can't understand it due to disabilities is very impossible. People who can't see can hear. People who can't hear can read and see the things being presented. Even children can understood this video. Because, the images presented are not that deep to be understood.
This video do really proves that if we want to do something, nothing is impossible. And because this video wants to give awareness to people. And help sustaining the environment. Then they did everything they can, so that people who will watch this, can understand the message they wanted to give.
6.) Share one issue or item that you wrote on your index card while you were watching the 11th hour.
Very main issue that I have found out, is the Human itself. We are the main problem in everything. If human only knows how to use these technologies, then there should be no problem in this world. There is nothing harmful in this world, we just do not know how to use it properly. It is because, we humans lack something, we lack of discipline to ourselves. We must know that we are the very reason of the things happening in our surroundings. We should start now, and not wait for the time that this problem will continue to increase. This big problem is already enough. Let us solve it together. For we, together us one, will be able to solve this one big problem fast.
7.) As a result of you having seen this film, what, if any, specific actions do you think you will take?
For the current situation, things I could help to sustain the environment, is to do simple things. Such as water conservation, segregation and doing the 3Rs. This is not still enough because most important is to help people be aware of the current situation. I can also teach people how they can help in solving this big problem we have. And lastly, is to become a role model in sustaining the environment. By simply, loving our Mother Nature.
