| 00:09 | you've probably noticed by now in your years of being | |
| 00:12 | a human that human beings need a lot of stuff | |
| 00:14 | to live food , water , shelter , Youtube . | |
| 00:18 | Well , maybe not that last one . So where | |
| 00:20 | does all of this stuff come from ? Why it | |
| 00:25 | comes from our very own earth . We live on | |
| 00:27 | a planet that has all of the stuff we need | |
| 00:29 | to survive . There's fresh water to drink fruit on | |
| 00:32 | trees and wood to build our houses convenient . Right | |
| 00:35 | ? We call this stuff resources because humans need so | |
| 00:39 | many of these resources to live , it's easier for | |
| 00:42 | us to form communities like cities or neighborhoods where these | |
| 00:45 | resources are plentiful . So we don't have to travel | |
| 00:48 | long distances to find them on our own . That's | |
| 00:50 | why you don't normally see big cities in the middle | |
| 00:52 | of deserts where there's no water or at the top | |
| 00:55 | of freezing mountains where there's no food . Think about | |
| 00:57 | your own town and where it's located . If it's | |
| 00:59 | close to things like water and agriculture , that was | |
| 01:02 | probably no accident , humans and other animals tend to | |
| 01:05 | thrive in places that are near the resources they need | |
| 01:08 | to survive . Of course the stuff we need to | |
| 01:10 | live doesn't come ready to use right out of the | |
| 01:13 | earth . Although I would personally love it if there | |
| 01:15 | were say a lake full of pure hot fudge . | |
| 01:19 | But in order for us to use the resources around | |
| 01:22 | us , we have to transform them first because I'm | |
| 01:25 | kind of hungry right now . Let's use food as | |
| 01:27 | an example . In fact let's make a cake . | |
| 01:31 | Think about all the ingredients that you need to put | |
| 01:35 | together in order to bake one of these delicious treats | |
| 01:38 | . Let's start with some water . The water that | |
| 01:40 | comes out of your kitchen faucet most likely came from | |
| 01:42 | rivers and lakes around your town . But before the | |
| 01:45 | water is safe to drink it has to be cleaned | |
| 01:47 | and stored in places like reservoirs and water towers . | |
| 01:50 | Okay , what next ? Flour , eggs , sugar | |
| 01:53 | , and milk these ingredients and a lot of the | |
| 01:55 | other foods that we eat have to be cultivated , | |
| 01:57 | which means grown on farms before they can be shipped | |
| 02:00 | to grocery stores . In order to do this , | |
| 02:03 | farms have to be where crops and livestock can live | |
| 02:05 | and grow . All right now we need to mix | |
| 02:08 | these ingredients all together . That means that our electric | |
| 02:10 | mixer needs power . The energy we use to power | |
| 02:13 | all of our gizmos can come from a lot of | |
| 02:15 | different places . Sometimes it comes from materials that we | |
| 02:18 | have to dig underground to find like oil and natural | |
| 02:21 | gas . Some houses get their energy from the sun | |
| 02:23 | or by wind . Some towns that are close to | |
| 02:26 | large dams can even get their energy from moving water | |
| 02:29 | , but more on that later now , how do | |
| 02:30 | we bake this bad boy ? The same kinds of | |
| 02:32 | energy that powered our mixer also help do things like | |
| 02:36 | heat our homes and cook our food so from start | |
| 02:42 | to finish . Everything we use to make our cake | |
| 02:44 | came from the transformation of the resources around us . | |
| 02:48 | The effect the natural world has on our lives is | |
| 02:50 | immense and something as simple as baking a cake shows | |
| 02:54 | that we wouldn't be able to live the way we | |
| 02:55 | do without the abundance of natural resources on our planet | |
| 02:59 | . And it doesn't hurt that the end result of | |
| 03:01 | those resources can be a cake . |
