The 11th Hour - documentary

trailer



"The 11th hour is the last moment when change is possible"

Though the messenger seems like an unlikely choice, producer/host Leonardo Dicaprio, seems sincerely invested in understanding and investigating solutions toward a more sustainable future.

I will be screening the movie this weekend and let you know what I think. For the record I found Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" eye opening but dull and felt the shifting between his personal life and global warming issues disjointed. I'm looking forward to how the 11th Hour measures up. I was impressed with several points raised in the trailer(s) which spoke directly to concrete reasons why we should care, encouraging solutions rather than apathy.

1-Though we talk about saving the environment the truth is that nature will continue. It is our HUMAN survival and future which hangs in the balance.
2-We vote with every dollar we spend. Support consciously.
3-Using Youtube to it's best benefit by allowing viewers to respond with their own videos is an excellent community building tool.

As Lofa pointed out "Earth Hour" is tonight. Turn off your lights between 8-9 PM!
