00:00:03.782 --> 00:00:05.306
Some call me nature .

00:00:11.672 --> 00:00:15.714
Others call me "Mother Nature."

00:00:17.054 --> 00:00:21.775
I've been here for over 4.5 billion years .

00:00:22.574 --> 00:00:28.335
22,500 times longer than you.

00:00:29.784 --> 00:00:31.618
I don't really need people.

00:00:32.498 --> 00:00:34.156
But people need me.

00:00:35.574 --> 00:00:38.120
Yes. Your future depends on me.

00:00:39.006 --> 00:00:40.214
When I thrive,

00:00:40.214 --> 00:00:41.302
you thrive.

00:00:43.001 --> 00:00:44.073
When I falter,

00:00:44.782 --> 00:00:46.090
you falter.

00:00:47.685 --> 00:00:49.021
Or worse.

00:00:53.554 --> 00:00:55.029
But I've been here for eons.

00:00:56.099 --> 00:00:58.395
I have fed species greater than you.

00:00:58.805 --> 00:01:02.542
And I have starved species greater than you.

00:01:04.312 --> 00:01:05.820
My oceans.

00:01:07.002 --> 00:01:08.074
My soil.

00:01:09.472 --> 00:01:11.468
My flowing streams.

00:01:11.518 --> 00:01:13.092
My forests.

00:01:15.548 --> 00:01:17.050
They all can take you.

00:01:18.046 --> 00:01:19.470
Or leave you.

00:01:21.348 --> 00:01:23.296
How you choose to live each day,

00:01:23.296 --> 00:01:25.994
whether you regard or disregard me,

00:01:26.226 --> 00:01:28.044
doesn't really matter to me.

00:01:29.406 --> 00:01:30.062
One way.

00:01:30.592 --> 00:01:31.310
Or the other.

00:01:31.690 --> 00:01:34.791
Your actions will determine your fate.

00:01:35.014 --> 00:01:36.026
Not mine.

00:01:36.026 --> 00:01:37.074
I am nature.

00:01:37.074 --> 00:01:38.056
I will go on.

00:01:38.366 --> 00:01:41.641
I am prepared to evolve.

00:01:44.538 --> 00:01:45.364
Are you?
