I noticed today that a new action was posted from the Philippines in which a small company is creating their product sustainably as well as supporting employment in an area where employment is difficult. To see the action, go to http://11thhouraction.com/node/3005

Hi Leila,

Thank you for your words of support. We have shown 11th hour to our workers here, it struck a resounding chord even though most do not speak english too well. The images of floods, mud slides and the deforestation were all too familiar for most of us here. The film helped to explain the cycles involved in global warming, the effects of which can now be felt here.

When you have cleaned up Main St, maybe we can get into the kitchens and change the insidious plastic, synthetic cellulose and nylon tools that are used now with our wonderful plant based tools that are hand made silently, at room temperature with water.

We can send you a sample if you post an address so that you can see for yourself.

Regards

Ben and Nancy Hodges

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
