"The 11th Hour"

The 11th Hour directed by Leila Conners and Nadia Conners depicts the damage Americans have created because of their excessive consumption. "We have hit our tipping point." The tipping point is when people loose control of the environment. High corporations and people who have an obsession with control, in trying to defeat science and history, have caused major natural disasters. This was influenced by the need to consume and the need to take advantage of what the world has to offer. The movie discusses how everything from oceans to forests, which help the earth maintain stability, have been destroyed to build the products that bring the comfort to Americans.The damage that is being created by exposure to harmful chemicals and fossil fuel pollution is destroying about 90% of the worlds inhabitants. This includes: people, animals, marine life,etc.The movie also states that if companies that create the items that bring people comfort were to do the work the ecosystem has done , they will pay at least 35 Trillion dollars.People have reinvented comfort into a addiction for capital, luxury, and pleasure. Once the oil that produces the America's comfort depletes drastically or runs out,the people will be left with themselves and the world. The problem with that is that all the pollution and damage the corporations have spewed out to world is making it deteriorate. The ecosystem is unstable and it will not be able to sustain the people that live in it. The natural cycle has been demolished and this will bring great disadvantage for inhabitants now and in the future.
