The 11 hour reflection

The video starts by drawing attention to the fact that so many factors of Earth are polluted, the Earth and human affect each other. The Earth gives us the resources we need to create prosperity and abundance,so the sustainable development is critical. What impact human made on the Earth  one day comes back to affect us by  global warming, natural disasters, changing weather patterns, and so on. So notice that early and change the behavior early will finally protect ourselves.

Human has reached a point where our consumption and level of destruction to the earth are far more exceeded the earth’s ability to replenish and regrow. Our natural planet is not any more has the ability to compensate for our  lifestyle. Evidence and data are presented in the documentary.  From this documentary we need to know the earth’s resources are limited, if we take too much or distribute the nature resource, the results such as global warming will come and finally human suffer themselves.


As a designer, we need to take that into account and make the earth a sustainable future, by the way of .clean energy(solar or alcohol). We must not be selfish anymore and start thinking about the next generations.  In the video Leonardo states “greatest challenge of our time” and we must take action as soon as possible. is the main reason why the earth’s population is shooting at an exponential rate. The petrol and coal are limited, so it will be used up one day, however the population grow every year, increased human require more and more nature resource. so we much find a way to make the development sustainable. For us  the most important thing is to design the product that can lower the consumption of human. 


 Industrial designer in particular need to understand that because industrial designer are people who design and produce daily use product for customer. I think designers are not only designing beautiful products but also need to consider the usage and consumption of materials, energy and environmental impacts. That can be classified  in three stages: production, use of products and the disposal stage. For industrial designer we need to reduce the production by making the product more durable or reduce the material been used and for the disposal process we need to make it reusable or at lease can be most recycle.
