Ahhh... Way fresher than at our clubhouse.
David Suzuki: We have trees to thank for that.
They're not just for climbing!
Take a deep breath in.
(deep inhale/exhale) You're inhaling oxygen.
When you exhale, you release carbon dioxide.
Now it's the trees' turn to inhale the carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen.
That's how the Earth gives us all the clean air we need.
Brad: (holds his breath) (long exhale) Neat!
David Suzuki: And it's OUR job to protect them.
When we take care of the Earth, we take care of ourselves, too.
Xavier: (to himself) Hm...when we take care of the Earth, we take care of ourselves.
(starts raining) Huh?
Yadina: (gasps) It's raining, Dr. Zoom!
(rain falling) Brad: But, we're dry.
Xavier: What?
Uhh... Brad: Thanks for the natural umbrella, tree.
David Suzuki: And thanks, rain!
Rain is the Earth's way of giving us fresh water to fill our rivers and lakes.
Ahhh, so refreshing!
Xavier: I have something that's pretty refreshing: granola!
Mmmmm... Mmmmm!
This is good!
Uhm.. (nervous giggle) David Suzuki: Garbage doesn't exist in nature, so my dad and I try not to leave any behind.
I'd rather the Earth use water and sunlight to grow food.
Brad: Just like carrots!
For carrot muffins!
Yadina: (off screen) And grapes!
For grape jelly.
Xavier: Huh.
So, the Earth gives us all the air, water, and food that we need?
David Suzuki: Yup!
And if we want to keep it that way, we have to take care of it.
When we take care of the Earth, we take care of ourselves, too.
