Review of The 11th Hour (2007) by Sean C — 24 Jan 2010

One of the best movies of the last 10 years. Jonathan D., P.Eng., Ivy League MBA(dist).

The problem:

1) Our consumerism and lack of self fulfillment is destroying the world on which we depend upon.

The solution:

1) Get informed.

2) Watch this movie and tell others. Email them the actions below. Post it on facebook, write a tomatoe review.

3) Take action no matter how small.

4) Vote with your talents by:

---a) Do not work at "bad" companies (Monsanto, fast food companies, bottled water).

5) Vote with your dollars by:

---a) Don't buy investment stocks in irresponsible companies and don't own mutual funds that invest in irresponsible companies or products.

---b) Don't buy irresponsible products (i.e. plastic/styrofoam containers and bags, fast foods, cars that are gasoline only, disposable products, non-green house cleaners and detergents).

---c) Buy local, buy green, buy sustainable & resusable.

---d) Don't buy food or products because you're bored or feel insecure.

6) Vote with your habits by:

---a) Walk, bike, carpool.

---b) be healthy (mentally and physically)...it uses less resources.

7) Vote with your political votes by:

---a) Vote for responsible governments that take action.

---b) Email your government at all levels (automatic petitions are available on the web). Tell them that you will not vote for them unless they take action.

8) Educate your children.

---a) They are the future. Bad habits taught when they are young will stay with them when they are old.

---b) Teach them the value of nature rather than the value of a video game.

---c) Teach them how to eat responsibly (nutritious local food rather than unsustainable fast food).

---d) Encourage them to work at sustainable companies when they grow up.
