11th Hour Response.

Watching the documentary "11th Hour" was more than an eye-opening experience; it made me realize that designers have the power to either make or break the environment more than it already has been. This is because designers make objects appealing and desirable. The more desirable a product is, the more likely it is that it will become popular. However, this only feeds into the materialism and greed that our society already revolves around. It is up to designers, artists, and architects to change this vicious cycle into something that is better for the environment. Small changes amount to bigger changes, and bigger changes have the chance to save our planet that we are so carelessly destroying.
