TASK 3: 11th HOUR

.....an incredible insight into the sheer destruction we cause to the environment and planet we live on. What is interesting is that we as humans are aware of the future, unlike any other species. You would think that would put us ahead... right?? well maybe its dragging us behind? would it be possible that by knowing the future we are infact limiting ourselves to what we can achieve for fear of making it worse?

or on the other hand is this a good thing. can we use this to predict how we will be designing in the future. i guess time will only tell. but untill then we have to make some changes.

i believe what the movie implied was that product designers have a huge part in preventing further destruction to the earth, however it may not even be our job, but we have to influence the rest of the population to co-operate. this is where i think we will see some problems, if not already seeing problems. an eco design can go so far, but without the public grasping the idea it is inevitable it will fail.

i guess the remaining question is... how do we encourage the whole world to embrace an eco mind???
