11th Hour, a Documentary by Leonardo diCaprio

11TH Hour
Human society and nature: living in a good balance.

Our biosphere is sick. But even so, the environment is going to survive. We're the ones who may not survive. Or we may survive in a world we don't particularly wanna live in.

What I hear in my dreams... ...is generations in the future screaming back to us in time... ...saying, ""What are you doing? Don't you see?"" We've evolved to be the leaders of our biological community. We are misleading. We are causing the devastation... ...to our very foundation of our life system that has given us birth. And we are ultimately committing suicide.

So as we destroy nature, we will be destroyed in the process.

Life on Earth is possible... ...only because a number of parameters lie in certain very narrow ranges. Some of these are clearly environmental. Like the Earth has the right temperature and pressure and to have water.

Earth is a planet that's just far enough from the sun... ...and has just enough of that atmosphere of a certain composition... ...that more heat stays here than radiates out to space.

Homo sapiens sapiens is an incredibly young species. You know, if the Earth calendar -where it started in January 1 and now we're December 31 st. We got here 15 minutes before midnight on December 31 st... ...and all of recorded history has blinked by in the last 60 seconds.

we are fundamentally groups of animals that are very much conditioned by two essential characters: One is opportunism and the other one is greed.

All the animals and vegetables are opportunistic creatures. They do what's necessary for them to do in order to survive. I think it was the human mind basically... ...that threw us out of balance with the rest of nature. when we evolved in Africa about 150,000 years ago... ...and compared to other animals on the plains then, we weren't very impressive. We weren't very many or very big, we weren't gifted with special senses. The one thing, the key to our survival... ...and our taking over the planet was the human brain.

But because the human mind invented the concept of a future... ...we're the only animal on the planet... ...that actually was able to recognize... ...we could affect the future by what we do today.

Chapter 3 What Have Changed?
A fundamental illusion in the world is that people are separate from nature. When the reality is that we are part of nature. In fact, we are nature. That's probably the most fundamental misunderstanding in the world... ...that's causing all this havoc.

I think one of the reasons why it's so difficult for people to get it is because it flies in the face of the assumptions of our culture. Our culture is built on the assumption that we are the superior life form on Earth. That we are separate from all other life forms. That we have been given dominion over all other life forms.

What happens in the mind that likes to think that it's separated from nature? I think our attitudes are based on selfishness... ...based on the economic situation we have... ...based on the politics which we have. And in focusing on the economy... ...I think we've forgotten the ancient truths.

These ancient wisdoms that kept us plugged into nature... ...and understanding that ""Gee, if we do something to offend the natural world... ...we'll pay a price for that.

earlier forms were generally regenerative. After the industrial revolution, nature was converted to a resource... ...and that resource was seen as, essentially, eternally abundant. This led to the idea and the conception behind progress... ...which is, limitless growth, limitless expansion.
For the vast majority of human history......humans lived on current sunlight. The sunlight that fell on Earth in a year was the maximum amount we could use. And our population never surpassed a billion people. And then we began discovering that there were pockets of ancient sunlight. And if we had to go back to living off current sunlight, lacking technology... ...the planet couldn't sustain more than a half a billion to a billion people.

What we have done is become good alchemists. The ability to take fossil carbon... ...and turn it into human biomass. And we have used the supermarket... ...the transportation system, to make that happen. oil has enabled us to do that.

Oil is really the basis... ...with which we sustain complexity and with which we solve our problems. In a sense, all of our lives are subsidized. We are subsidized by oil. Because we're subsidized by oil... ...when we shop for anything at a store, we don't pay the full price. We don't pay the full cost of what it took to produce that.

Oil does a lot of harm. Economists would call them "externalities"... ...because they're external to the price you pay at the pump. For example, the asthma rates among children, The acid rain. When you started feeding off of the fossil-fuel cycle... ...we began living with a death-based cycle of dependency on extraction of those resources... ...set in motion a sequence of events... ...that has led us to our modern crisis of global disturbance... ...known as climate change.

We didn't know what we were creating, the damage that was being created. So as we go forward with technology even more powerful than before... ...we have magnified... ...the presence of the human race inside the ecology. Therefore we can do more damage... ...with our technological prowess than we could before. We have to be even more cautious.



Chapter 4 Impact
How does it look when our actions... ...shift the natural chemical balance of our atmosphere... ...into a state several degrees warmer? A state that hasn't existed for millennia.

A couple of degrees difference in today's temperatures may not sound like much... ...but it only took a few degrees to shift us out of the last ice age. And a few degrees may be all that separates us from catastrophic change.

One of the most serious consequences of our actions is global warming. The danger is that the temperature increase... ...might become self-sustaining, if it has not done so already.

Drought and deforestation are reducing the amount... ...of oxygen recycled into the atmosphere. And the warming of the seas may trigger the release... ...of large quantities of CO2 trapped on the ocean floor. In addition, the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets... ...will reduce the amount of solar energy reflected back into space... ...and so increase the temperature further.

The record shows that greenhouse gases... ...mainly CO2, did not go above 280 parts per million... ...over the last 650,000 years. We're now over 400 parts per million... ...coming close to what many scientists are now referring to as a tipping point where we lose control of climate. And once we've lost control of climate... ...then things like Katrina-scale events will become simply the norm.

Unless we're able to very quickly reduce our use of fossil fuel, the computer model is clear: increase the temperature by one degree... ...we'll increase it about another 5 degrees. That'll make the Earth warmer than it's been for tens of millions of years.

Some scientists are amazed that in the media and in front of Congress... ...we hear about people who ""I believe in"" or ""I don't believe in"" global warming... ...as if this were somehow some object of religion, as opposed to based in evidence. And scientists look at evidence. The scientists have a tremendous amount of agreement. These are things that, there's a consensus in the international scientific community. There's no doubt about that.

The speed of the natural changes is now dwarfed by human changes... ...to the atmosphere and surface. the current estimate is that the Earth has warmed up by about 7/10 of a degree centigrade. the Earth should still warm by an additional half a degree centigrade. That's been enough to melt 20 percent of the sea ice in the Arctic. It's been enough to speed up the spin and duration of hurricanes about 50 percent. It's been enough to start the permafrost... ...beneath the tundra across the north melting.

what's happening with global warming, climate changes... ...it is happening first and fastest in the Arctic. By the end of the century, perhaps even in a few decades... ...the Arctic will be quite ice-free.

climate change is going to have a strong, fundamental impact on the global water cycle. It's going to change rainfall patterns. It's going to very likely increase our experience with floods and droughts. It's almost certainly going to change the pattern of river flows through the year.
What the climate changes do is add another dimension of uncertainty. It threatens your food security, for example, your water security... ...your sea-level security and your security against storms and hurricanes. It's a national security problem.

More importantly than that, it's an international security problem. by the middle of the century there may be 150 million environmental refugees. What we saw with Katrina is just prologue.
We face a convergence of crises... ...all of which are a concern for life.

The problem that confronts us is that every living system in the biosphere... ...is in decline. There isn't one peer-reviewed scientific article in the past 20 years that contradicts that statement. there isn't one living system that is stable or is improving.

There's an ocean crisis now. we've put too much into the ocean, too much pollution. We've lost 90 percent of most of the big fish... ...in half a century, so we're turning to deeper areas, further areas offshore. we're removing billions of animals from the ocean every year. Many of them don't even become food for humans. They just are wasted.

What we put into the ocean... ...millions of tons of things that aren't natural to the sea... ...they come back to us in perverse ways. Corporations dump on equivalent... ...at the smallest, they do five million gallons per day of toxins into the bay.

And all of these are simple to understand: much more subtle and scary disasters on the horizon.
Seventy countries in the world no longer have any intact or original forests. in the US, 95% of our old growth forests... are gone. That land is converted to grassland. and the nutrient cycling that those trees used to do is no longer functioning. What that leads to next? Deserts.

if you destroy the forests on these mountains... ...the rivers will stop flowing... ...and the rains will become irregular... ...and the crops will fail... ...and you will die of hunger and starvation.
Now, the problem is, people don't make those linkages. Over 30% of the soils of the planet... ...have been put into the category of serious degradation.

What we don't see or think about when we look at a tree is: How much water can it grab? 57,000 gallons of water. It prevents it from running off... ...captures it in that sponge, cleans it, puts it back in the aquifer. Take that one tree away... ...and you got a flood, you got soil erosion. You've lost those 57,000 gallons from the local water supply. Then that water is rushing downstream, hurting people, hurting communities... ...ultimately polluting the ocean.

We really could tip the ocean into a different state. It's conceivable that we could turn that conveyor belt off... The last time that happened was the end-Permian mass extinction... ...and more than 95 percent of all the species on the Earth went extinct.

Chapter 5 The Blockings
The evidence is now clear: Industrial civilization has caused irreparable damage......and our impact is only accelerating.

We have lost the last 30 years in the war against global warming. The questions then arise, why aren't we responding? But more important, what are the forces that are blocking change?

The greatest weapon of mass destruction is corporate economic globalization. There's always been a greed factor in human civilization... ...and what has happened with the creation of corporations... ...which are the dominant institutions of our age... ...is that they have perfected that as a system.

Today, ecosystems, forests, streams, lakes, rivers... ...they have no rights. They're property. Which means they can be bought, sold, destroyed, traded, carved up. And it's very clear that nature is property.

And so the reason why these documents in libraries about solutions that respects the planet is... ...we've lacked the authority to drive those things into law.

Because in reality we have a Constitution that empowers the corporate few... ...to make decisions that trump the majority. And it has been our failure to drive real law into place... ...because we don't have the authority. We have very responsive political leaders. They're responsive to wealth, money and corporate power. Right now, that higher power is the fossil-fuel industry.

On the issues of climate change and environment... ...the political system failed us. It's government. That's where the failure has been. there is too much money in the political system.
I think the most basic thing to understand about our global economic system... ...is that it's a subsystem. And it's a subsystem of a larger system. The larger system is the biosphere and the subsystem is the economy. The problem, of course, is that our subsystem, the economy... ...is geared for growth. It's all set up to grow, to expand... ...whereas the parent system doesn't grow. It remains the same size. So as the economy grows, it displaces, it encroaches upon... ...the biosphere, and this is a fundamental cost. This is what you give up when you expand, what used to be there.

economists don't include all of the things that nature does for us for nothing. What would it cost us to take carbon dioxide out of the air... ...and put oxygen back in it, which all the green things do for us for nothing?

Constanza estimated it would cost us $35 trillion a year... ...to do what nature is doing for us for nothing. To put that in perspective... ...if you added up all of the annual economies in the world at that time... ...it came to $ 18 trillion. So nature was doing twice as much service for us... ...as the economies of the world.

Somehow in the last few decades in business school... ...and the M.B.A.s that these CEOs have... ...they were trained that the object of their business is growth... ...as if that were an end. It's not an end, it's a means. We flipped the ends and means. If we can get the end back, quality of life...
...we look at the contradictions... ...because the wrong kind of growth reduces our quality of life... ...and we have to retake that back. the industrial system... ...has to be reinvented.

Today, the throughput of the industrial system is like this: for 1 truckload of product with lasting value, 32 truckloads of waste are produced. that is mind-boggling. So we have a system that is a waste-making system.



Chapter 6 The Root
what about us, as individuals, as consumers? To what extent are we participants in the destruction of our biosphere?

The problem is not a problem of technology. The problem is not a problem of too much carbon dioxide. The problem is not a problem of global warming. The problem is not a problem of waste. All of those things are symptoms of the problem. The problem is the way that we are thinking. The problem is fundamentally a cultural problem.

We're now products of $500 billion of advertising each year. as one study showed, first year college student could identify 1000 corporate logos... ...but fewer than 10 plants and animals native to their own place.

Americans are spending their time working and spending. That's where our time is going. An average American goes shopping in one way or another five times a week. During the day, we spend time working to make the money so that we can shop. So while everything's getting bigger... ...our bathtubs, our houses, our vehicles, our waistlines... ...we're running out of time. We have less of the things we really care about.

So anesthetized by our own wealth, we forget how most of the world lives. Consumerism is the leading ideology.

Once commodities become cultural symbols there's no stopping that. You have to change the object of desire in order to get the root of the problem. You have to change the idea behind limitless expansion. In a phrase, from well-having to well-being. It's a cultural transformation. it's not that consumption is bad, it's that it's gotten totally out of balance.

We're psychically numbed. We numb our senses from morning till night. nobody sees the beauty. And if we've lost the feeling of the beauty of the world... ...then we are looking for substitutes. Eric Hoffer said, ""You can never get enough of what you don't really want. "" Meaning we rush around permanently needy... ...but the loss, the feeling of loss, is that we don't know what it is we've lost. What we've lost is the beauty of the world... ...and we make up for it with attempting to conquer the world... ...or own the world, possess the world.

We are living... ...in an enormously challenging time. We don't know at what point the system will start to fall apart. as a species at the very top of the food chain... ...I know that we're the most vulnerable.

One of the problems that I see... ...is that so many people who have to individually accept the cost of the transition, are unaware that it's coming.

Most of our citizens wake up in the morning... ...and worry about the morning commute... ...and getting the kids to school, and paying the mortgage... ...and thinking about a new car or a vacation or whatever. This is too narrow a scale of thinking to address the problems that we have.

We need people to be aware of the global forces that affect their lives... ...and that will increasingly affect their lives in the future. If this awareness doesn't develop, I'm afraid the transition will be wrenching.

What we risk is... ...the destruction of civilization. All that we fought for to come to this particular point. It will have been undone in a flash.

ls the caring capacity for a happy and healthy human population... ...in a future going away? Absolutely.. It's about saving a caring capacity, a system upon which humans can live in the pursuit of happiness. That's what's at stake.

one species is taking so much of the resources of the Earth that it's leaving very little for other creatures to live with it.

we've turned our backs on nature's warning signs and because our political and corporate leaders... ...have consistently ignored the overwhelming scientific evidence, the challenges we face are that much more difficult. We are in the environmental age whether we like it or not.


Chapter 7 Future
If human beings are the source of the problem... ...we can be the foundation of the solution.
Some people suggest that to live sustainably... ...we have to go out in the woods and put on animal skins... ...and live on roots and berries. But the simple reality is that we do have technology. The question is: How can we use our understanding of science and technology... ...along with our understanding of culture and how culture changes... ...to create a culture that will interact with science... ...and with the world around us in a sustainable fashion?

The great thing about the dilemma we're in... ...is that we get to reimagine every single thing we do. In other words, there isn't one single thing that we make... ...or systems that we have that doesn't require a complete remake. And so there's two ways of looking at that. One is, like, ""Oh, my gosh. What a big burden. "" The other way to look at it, which is the way I prefer, is: What a great time to be born. What a great time to be alive. "" Because this generation gets to essentially completely change this world.

We're at a point, with 6.4 billion of us... ...that we have to imagine what it'd be like to redesign design itself... ...and see design as the first signal of human intention where materials are seen as highly valuable... ...and need to go in closed cycles, ""cradle to cradle"" instead of ""cradle to grave. ""

And that energy needs to come from renewable sources, principally the sun... ...and water needs to be clean and healthy as it goes through a system... ...and we have to treat each other with justice and fairness. So the design itself changes... ...from mass production of things that are essentially destructive... ...to mass utilization of things that are inherently assets instead of liabilities.

Our project today, for a new generation of designers... ...is the welfare of all of life as a practical objective. It goes beyond ourselves to include the entire ecological realm. That all of life is actually a design project today. That we have to design the capacity to sustain it in the long run.
Whether we're talking about the design of a factory or a building... ...or a road or even a town... ...it's much easier to design in isolation... ...than superimpose a design on what exists. But if we were to follow nature's operating instructions... ...it designs in exactly the opposite way. It brings onto the palette, so to speak, all of the kingdoms of life... ...and then works symphonically to create an end result... ...which might be a coral reef or might be a forest. Well, you know, the interesting thing about sustainable design... ...is that I don't think it has to look in any particular way.

How we make things... ...in, you know, our industrial processes... ...it's 180 degrees different from how life makes things. Look at the way we make, for instance, Kevlar... ...which is our toughest material. We take petroleum, we heat it up to about 1400 degrees Fahrenheit... ...and we bubble it in sulfuric acid... ...and then we pull it out under enormous pressures. Now imagine an organism, us, making our bones or our teeth. Imagine an abalone making a shell. They can't afford to heat it up to really high temperatures... ...or do pressures or chemical baths, so they found a different way.

Now take the spider. This beautiful orb-weaver spider is taking flies and crickets into the web... ...and transforming them with chemistry in water in the abdomen... ...and out comes this material... ...that's five times stronger ounce for ounce than steel. Silently, in water, at room temp. You know? I mean, this is master chemistry. This is the manufacturing of the future, hopefully.

In nature, there is no waste. One organism's waste is another's food. That's the model for the industrial system that must eventually evolve. A waste-free industrial system.

If we think about a tree as a design... ...it makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water... ...provides habitat for hundreds of species, accrues solar energy... ...makes complex sugars and food, creates microclimates and self-replicates. So what would it be like to design a building like a tree? What would it be like to design a city like a forest? So what would a building be like if it were photosynthetic?

With existing technologies that we basically already have on the shelf... ...or things we know we can develop in a rapid period of time... ...we could reduce the human footprint on planet Earth by 90 percent. The direction to go is to decouple from our dependence on oil... ...through efficient and renewable green alternatives and getting those to become the major part of the market. it should've started 30 years ago.

How much time do we have? Well, not much. By my reckoning, we ought to be about the business as rapidly as possible. This means everybody. Every citizen, every government level, every organization, every corporation. This is ""all hands on deck"" time.

So that in the future, 500 years out... ...that people look back at this time, that this was our finest hour. That humans at that time in that generation all across the planet... ...came together in a very different vision.

And you're starting to see them pull together... ...and close the loops and plug the leaks to reimagine what it means to be a human being in the 21 st century ... ...when every living system is in decline, and learning how to reverse that.

Instead of a throwaway economy... ...it will be a reused economy, where everything is reused. The challenge for our generation is to build that economy in the available time. And I don't think we have a lot of time left.

Virtually all of our major infrastructure changes... ...have been encouraged in some way by the government. So I would think the way to deal... ...with this transition away from oil is... ...not to pretend energy operates in an unregulated free enterprise market. It does not. But to go ahead and, as affordably as possible... ...give incentives to move toward these other fuels... ...and these minimal changes in infrastructure that make them possible.

Energy is the key to everything else we do. With abundant, affordable and clean energy, we can solve a lot of problems. Without it, we won't be able to solve very many problems at all.
The sun is the most plentiful, bountiful substitute there is. There's more than enough energy coming from the sun every day... ...to run every factory, every home, every automobile on Earth 13,000 times, I think.

When we break our addiction to fossil fuels... ...you see money flowing to industries that represent the vitality of the economy: Media, high-tech, services. Taking action on climate change is good for jobs and the economy.

If we retrofitted... ...all government buildings built pre-1950... ...and we created tax environments to help cities and municipalities... ...and states and the federal government to retrofit those buildings... ...we could create 3 million industrial jobs. Plus we could import much less oil from the Middle East. But more importantly, we'd be having a much cleaner environment.

If we move from the rigged game we have now in energy... ...to a level playing field, competition between dirty and clean fuels... ...I have no doubt the clean fuels will win. Once we send the right signal to the marketplace... ...that the two guys in the garage who created Hewlett-Packard... Those two guys today, I want them working on clean energy. I want them to know we fixed our public policies... ...so they'll be rewarded when they come up with a killer app to defeat Big Oil. That's what we need to do.

People need to realize they can do things in their everyday lives. Keeping tire pressure at the right level... ...putting in compact fluorescent light bulbs. Personal action is important.
This problem of global warming is huge and tremendous... ...and it may seem inconsequential to take your personal action... ...but it is important for many reasons. Because everybody making a change... ...adds up to something meaningful. Because shifting the way we act and live is part of the solution, long-term.

Because if we act in that way, we will demonstrate to leaders that we do care.

...as the next step beyond that, is to build a political will for taking action. You can also vote. And I don't mean voting at a voting booth. Anybody of any age can vote. Because you vote every day that you pay for something. Every time you lay money down on a counter to buy something... ...you are saying that, I approve of this object. I approve of how it was made, the materials that are in it... ...and what's going to happen to it when I no longer need it and throw it away. ""
Life creates the conditions that are conducive to life. So our technology, our cities, our schools... ...what we make, what we wear, what we eat, all of that... ...if it is oriented around that one principle... ...that one life principle... ...then we will be here for a long, long time in an extraordinary world.

The question is, what does it take for humankind to change its ways? And I am really encouraged by Deepak Chopra's statement... ...that people are really doing the best they can given their level of awareness. So to me, winning this battle that we're in... ...to change people's minds and hearts... ...is a matter of lifting levels of awareness. Always raising. And there's always a higher level of awareness for any of us. We need to be slower, and we need to be smarter.
Slow movement means disengaging from consumerism... ...as the main avenue of experience. It doesn't reject any consumption, but it says: We're not gonna live our lives mediated by the marketplace or what's being sold. We won't make our identities and meaning based on that.
Instead of the long commute, the bigger car, the bigger house... ...let's enjoy the local produce, have time to ourselves... ...understand that things are thieves of time. "" Because the more things you have, the more time you have to spend working... ...the more your life is chained to a rhythm to get those things.

The other element is the smart element. And there I think we have to reintroduce a term... ...an old term before the industrial revolution, frugality. Frugality does not mean poverty. Frugality means the wise use of resources. As I said earlier on, the meaning of the industrial revolution was... ...that nature was turned into a resource that was considered endlessly abundant. It's not true.

Not only is it the 11th hour, it's 11:59 and 59 seconds. And although prior People's Movements... ...have taken 30 to 40 years to build to a point where they had the power... ...to drive changes into the fundamental structure of governance... ...we don't have 30 to 40 years. It's not just gonna be a matter of tweaking a policy here and there. It'll take a broad societal mobilization. It's gonna take involvement at all levels... ...from the government through industry and on down to our communities... ...and a welling up of involvement of citizens.

Winston Churchill had it right about us: The Americans always do the right thing... ...but unfortunately, it's only after they've exhausted all other possibilities. "" And we've been exhausting some fairly bad possibilities for a long time. I think maybe we're finally ready to get it right.

People often ask: What can I do? I wanna do something. "" You made the first choice because you know you have to do something. For the rest, it's a matter of looking deep into your own heart and your soul... ...to understand what your gifts are, where your passions lie... ...to do some research, educate yourself... ...to find the people you're comfortable with, and then get involved.
With the onset of global warming and other catastrophic events... ...environmentalism has become today a broader unifying human issue. We as citizens, leaders, consumers and voters... ...have the opportunity to help integrate ecology... ...into governmental policy and everyday living standards.

During this critical period of human history... ...healing the damage of industrial civilization is the task of our generation. Our response depends on the conscious evolution of our species... ...and this response could very well save this unique blue planet... ...for future generations.

So I see a world in the future... ...in which we understand that all life is related to us... ...and we treat that life with great humility and respect. What is the fundamental bottom line for us as social creatures?"" it was love. Love is the force that makes us fully human.

Now, to me, the value... ...is the healing power that comes from getting... ...that it's not just global warming. It's not just fossil-fuel dependency. It's not just soil erosion. It's not just chemical contamination of our land and water. It's not just the population problem. And it's not just all of those.The deterioration of the environment of our planet... ...is an outward mirror of an inner condition. Like inside, like outside. And that's a part of the great work.



End
What if we choose to eradicate ourselves from this Earth, by whatever means? The Earth goes nowhere. And in time, it will regenerate... ...and all the lakes will be pristine. The rivers, the waters, the mountains... ...everything will be green again. It'll be peaceful. There may not be people, but the Earth will regenerate. And you know why? Because the Earth has all the time in the world... ...and we don't. So I think that's where we're at, right now.

Animals on Evan Almighty's Ship

If you were to be an almighty figure, such as Evan, your concern is you should always be a public figure for both human and animals. They want their lives! The reason why they are onboard the Ship is not to be human’s meat later after, but to live!

Fighting Hunger in Medan

There was once an event in Medan in 2006 or early 2007, supported by UN FAO themed "Fight Hunger". Young guys who are idealistic, distributed brochures to offices around the city, also to places where people gather such as the mall, Merdeka Walk, etc.

However, I think we still lack one most important thing, the long term impact of big advertisement on the side of a busy road, and of course, as we know, all the cost of eating meat, which they forget to include in their brochures.

If you need to know how much is the cost of eating a kg of meat to the environment, please refer to www.peta.org.
