0:00:03.782,0:00:05.306
Some call me nature .

0:00:11.672,0:00:15.714
Others call me "Mother Nature."

0:00:17.054,0:00:21.775
I've been here for over 4.5 billion years .

0:00:22.574,0:00:28.335
22,500 times longer than you.

0:00:29.784,0:00:31.618
I don't really need people.

0:00:32.498,0:00:34.156
But people need me.

0:00:35.574,0:00:38.120
Yes. Your future depends on me.

0:00:39.006,0:00:40.214
When I thrive,

0:00:40.214,0:00:41.302
you thrive.

0:00:43.001,0:00:44.073
When I falter,

0:00:44.782,0:00:46.090
you falter.

0:00:47.685,0:00:49.021
Or worse.

0:00:53.554,0:00:55.029
But I've been here for eons.

0:00:56.099,0:00:58.395
I have fed species greater than you.

0:00:58.805,0:01:02.542
And I have starved species greater than you.

0:01:04.312,0:01:05.820
My oceans.

0:01:07.002,0:01:08.074
My soil.

0:01:09.472,0:01:11.468
My flowing streams.

0:01:11.518,0:01:13.092
My forests.

0:01:15.548,0:01:17.050
They all can take you.

0:01:18.046,0:01:19.470
Or leave you.

0:01:21.348,0:01:23.296
How you choose to live each day,

0:01:23.296,0:01:25.994
whether you regard or disregard me,

0:01:26.226,0:01:28.044
doesn't really matter to me.

0:01:29.406,0:01:30.062
One way.

0:01:30.592,0:01:31.310
Or the other.

0:01:31.690,0:01:34.791
Your actions will determine your fate.

0:01:35.014,0:01:36.026
Not mine.

0:01:36.026,0:01:37.074
I am nature.

0:01:37.074,0:01:38.056
I will go on.

0:01:38.366,0:01:41.641
I am prepared to evolve.

0:01:44.538,0:01:45.364
Are you?
