Reaction paper: The 11th Hour We cannot live in Venus. It seems very unlikely that we will be able to survive 250 degrees Celsius and sulfuric acid as rain. We would dissolve at a high rate just like the what we are doing to Earth’s stored energy. As Robert Eger, a known film critic, would put, it is a” suicidal spending spree”. The 11th hour emphasized that humans despoil naturally stored resources (coal, oil) in a much faster and alarming weight, giving a deeper understanding how our land existed in the presence of current energy only. The experts, scientists, gurus in the documentary also advised some actions that we might actually do to turn things around.
After watching the unnerving documentary, it would be appropriate to conclude that the planet is not in good shape. It is not news to hear alerts about death of seas, melting of glaciers, global warming, and deforestation and that nothing has changed ever since. It is because, as straightforward as it is, we are part of the problem. One thing that can be pointed out in the biopic are the “being green” propositions. Architects John Todd and Bruce Mau said that building houses that actually function like a tree (use solar energy and consume own wastes) is a popular demand towards conservation and can be initiated by solar panels on every home. Promisingly, MERALCO has a renewable energy program called net metering that “allows households to sell back excess electricity generated by their renewable energy systems and use them as credits to lower their electricity bill the next month”. However, there is still this issue of leadership for me. The collective idea that politicians revoke their upkeep for change because they are benefited by the economic growth gained from overexploitation (fuel industry) is unquestionable for it is the outpost of consumerism in the country.
The 11th hour has been a powerful and intelligent way of giving out truths and possibilities. It made me
