00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.160
Some call me nature.

00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:15.880
Others call me Mother Nature.

00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:22.640
I’ve been here for over four and a half billion years.

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:28.740
22,500 times longer than you.

00:00:29.740 --> 00:00:32.580
I don’t really need people.

00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:34.960
But people need me.

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.500
Yes, your future depends on me.

00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:41.790
When I thrive, you thrive.

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:46.410
When I falter, you falter.

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:49.660
Or worse.

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:55.600
But I’ve been here for eons.

00:00:55.900 --> 00:00:58.760
I have fed species greater than you.

00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:03.360
And I have starved species greater than you.

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:08.980
My oceans. My soil.

00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:14.080
My flowing streams. My forests.

00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:20.280
They all can take you. Or leave you.

00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.560
How you choose to live each day,

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.360
whether you regard or disregard me,

00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:28.440
doesn’t really matter to me.

00:01:29.260 --> 00:01:31.700
One way. Or the other.

00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:35.140
Your actions will determine your fate.

00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:38.560
Not mine. I am nature. I will go on.

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.060
I am prepared to evolve.

00:01:44.380 --> 00:01:46.560
Are you?
