"Call me Mother. I've been here for over four and a half billion years. Actually, I don't need you. You need me. Your future depends on me. When I prosper, you prosper. When I suffer, you suffer. I've been around a long time. I've fed species bigger than you. I've starved species bigger than you. My oceans, my soil, my rivers, my forests, they can all welcome you or abandon you. How you choose to live your daily lives, whether you take me into account or not, doesn't really matter. Your actions will determine your fate, not mine. I am nature. I will continue. I am prepared to evolve. Are you?"
