An inconvinent truth is a doctumentary made in 2006 about Al Gore and his campaign to raise awareness about global warming. Although perhaps 6years old the issues and points raised are still relevant and have shaped much of government policies and our lives. The terms "global warming, "climate change" and "greenhouse gases" beckon us to rethink our actions and previous methods, in order to save the environment and its depleting resources.
Humans have depleted the natural resources at such a rapid rate, which has taken the Earth millions of years to preserve. The years of Industrilization resulted in massive amounts of Greenhouse gases being released, causing a hole in the ozone. The rate at which we use our natural resources means we will at least 12 earth's to provide our wants. The statistics and graph presented in the documentary are shocking and reveals alot of unseen reality. Evidence of high temperatures, rises in sea levels, melting ice caps, and increase in natural disaster have caused polar bears to die and beaching the coral reefs.
As Industrial Designers we should revise and rethink ways of production to reduce our ecological footprint and provide a sustainable standard of living. Through reducing materials, recycling, upcylcing, reusing and investing in renewable energy.
