David Suzuki and the 11th Hour.


 

David Suzuki
“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. I see us as well as social creatures, and when I began to look back and say, ‘what is the fundamental bottom line for us as social creatures?’…I couldn’t believe it because it seemed so hippy dippy, but it was Love. Love is the force that makes us fully human.”

– David Suzuki.

Who is David Suzuki?

David Suzuki is a television host, radio presenter, author, a geneticist, an environmentalist, and one of the most inspiring people for me as a designer-

httpv://au.youtube.com/watch?v=v3ekcwB1oAI

“We need to design communities so that the people who live in them use their cars less and have a lower impact on the environment, and a better quality of life in return.”

I cant help but feel a sense of pride as an architect and designer, that i (even on a small scale) can change the quality of life directly through design.

I first came upon the wise words of David Suzuki in ‘The 11th Hour’ a documentary on the environment, our impact on the earth and the pleading of environmentalists and activists to reverse the damage already done, hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio (no.. don’t laugh, he does a good job) –

Myself and a half dozen other design students trundled along for the first screening of the 11th hour in Melbourne a couple months back, i’m sorry to say that the main reason we went along was that we were members of an offshoot of GBCA (green building council of Australia) called ‘Future Green Leaders’ – and admission (and after movie drinks!) were free.

The first half of the ‘The 11th hour’ mercilessly depicted the atrocities of humankind and our blatant disregard for the environment – it left me feeling uncomfortably humble and quite small (metaphorically) in the grand scheme of things – suggesting that the snowballing that is the earth’s destruction is already a tumbling avalanche, and that we are not just at the 11th hour, but the time is in fact 11:59.

However, hope is offered – (thanks Leo!) though it is up to all of us as individuals to reverse the negative effect we have had on the earth.

“Yeah, we’ve heard this all before,” I hear you say, “I’ve seen already seen an inconvenient truth, we need to change our ways, the earth is in deep shit blah blah blah.”

The message has been drummed into us from environmentalist, activists and politicians for years now, however, for me, it was the visual impact of this movie that particularly spurred me into actively thinking about environmentally friendly design (and lifestyle!) and from it I have adopted heroes such as David Suzuki, who’s passion for the environment is a real inspiration.

and finally, a nice (very relevant) quote that I particularly liked –

“We’re at a point in our history, with 6.4 billion of us, that we have to imagine what it would be like to redesign design itself, see design as the first signal of human intention, and realize that we need new intentions for our future where materials are seen as things that are highly valuable and need to go in closed cycles—what we call cradle to cradle, instead of cradle to grave… 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”

—William McDonough, architect and designer.

    While there is absolutely no definitive way of knowing how often times a week an individual
    require to use pornography to become called a porn addict,
    signs that indicate this addiction include adjustments to
    an individual’s habits and routine, neglect of non-public relationships, inability to function normally in the society, and feelings of guilt, shame, and fear.

    If this is the case then results could possibly be skewed or writer could be
    not able to draw any sensible conclusions.
    Cross out any irrelevant ones and make your better to
    set them in to a logical order. If you say because over and over
    again, the thing people will be aware of is really because – it is going to stifle your argument and
    it is at the top of this list of items you should avoid in your academic work.

    So in case you are expecting lots of help, be aware that it isn’t really forthcoming.

    It is common for teachers to lament that students
    are not able to write despite having done very well inside PMR English exam
    for 15-year-olds. Reading and writing whenever possible is definitely the best
    method to develop a writing style.

    If this is true then results might be skewed or the writer might be unable to draw any sensible conclusions.
    The goal is usually to find a way to give you a complete response, all while focusing on as small
    a place of investigation as possible. If you say because
    repeatedly, one and only thing the various readers will likely be aware of is really
    because – it’s going to stifle your argument and it’s also near the top of
