The 11th Hour

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the official blog of the Todae team. Each week you will be hearing from behind the scenes from all of us at Todae.

This is the first blog entry for us at the Todae team and its a happy start with a group excursion to the movies to check out Leonardo Dicaprio’s latest flick "The 11th Hour".

We were all impressed to see Leo using his good looks, boyish charm and talents in the direction of raising awareness in a startling, informative and encouraging feature film doco on the state of our natural environment, where he utilised a few other talents as he created, produced and narrated the film. Go Leo!

The film starts with some startling visuals to get your attention for what the film is about - the very grave problems we face as a collective such as Global Warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans’ habitats. Whilst The visuals are pretty frightening and statistics startling, there is a message of hope as the film covers potential solutions we have available to us.

The film states clearly we have the technology in place to reduce our living footprint by 90%. We have the technology in place to live here on earth for another 5 billion years to come if we make the right choices individually and collectively, it encourages that by individually living our dreams we can figure out what our bit is and ultimately collectively make a difference - “What a great time to be alive, because this generation gets to completely change this world”

Taking our own message for what it means to us how we can make our own small changes in our lives, whether its changing your houses lighting , being a more dedicated recycler, becoming vegetarian, or get your house powered with solar or wind. There are films, books and information out there to help us realise how we can make a difference, it's just a matter of realising how you can start to make a difference. Depending on our choices our future can be very bright!

This is definitely an important film to see. Its not just the 11th hour, its 11 hours and 59 minutes, go check it out!

Til next time

The Todae Team :)
