The main idea of the ted talk is on how much exercise can benefit our brain, and its importance as well, some benefits that can be almost immediately seen on our daily lives and can also even protect our brains from diseases or different disorders, and also these benefits will be quite long lasting. 

Exercise is the most transformative thing for our brain, it has immediate effects in our brain.

A single workout will immediately increase the levels of neurotransmitters that increase our mood and gives us the ability to shift and focus at least 2 hours continuously. 

It Improves our reaction times; exercise change the brain´s anatomy physiology and function. 

The minimum exercise we have to do is about 3-4 times week 30 min and adding aerobic exercise can improve our brain and protect it. 

In conclusion: Exercising helps us to boost our energy and improves our mood, making it easier to live a light day with a lot of energy and a great mood. Exercising also helps our body fight any diseases easily because of how active and healthy it is.

Exercising is important because of 3 things:

 

They focus only on theory from textbooks, and not in smaller chunks of info.

 

Limited Resources = Only theory and not Practice, leading to students not finding connections between science and real world uses for it.

I think education is really important here because they teach you about world problems so you feel empathy for them and try to raise awareness on what’s happening around the world.

I think overpopulation isn’t something we can control since we are not the ones to ask others to stop having children but all we can do now is raise awareness and try to help people in need.

Education can help us with this problem by providing knowledge about actual problems that we are living, teach how we can take advantage of resources by saving them, and sex education because in that way people can prevent unwanted pregnancies. 

Maybe I can make my family know about this problem, that would help to educate new generations and try to not waste the resources that we have.

Topic: growth of human population 

Nowadays the population growth is one of the main problems, especially on the big cities and in the world in general. It is not a secret that our population has been growing to a rapid rate on the past years and decades, this has caused a lot of problematics we are starting to face right now and if it is not controlled the consequences might be even worst on a future and for the next generations.

Some of the consequences we may face can be that there might not be enough food, water and resources in general for all the population since mass producing has also its dangers for our environment.

How do we use our resources? Are we responsible for the serious issues related to the lack of resources in the world?

There are lots of things that we can do with resources, but, over the last years, humans have been using them irresponsibly and this has led us to have many different issues that originated from this.

For example, there is too much trash that came from the resources that humans couldn’t use anymore and that were thrown away later on. This trash has been getting accumulated all over the world and we must think fast before it’s too late. Some other examples of issues generated from this overexploitation are the endangerment of species, lack of resources, and pollution.

With careful planning and creative solutions, we can find many ways to end these problems, although it would take us many years. You can start at home by not using things you don’t need or just recycling!

F) Curitiba's environment is kept clean by the encourage of green spaces and the taxes of lower companies that keeps green areas.

g) Even though the cause of many problems is the fact that too many people want to live in big cities, there are possible solutions.

it’s important we start to identify which things are needed and which are not needed to avoid the future lack of resources and possible human problems like wars, starvation and others.

as soon as most people start identifying these things and looking for alternatives to the products, as well as bring awareness to others.

In our daily life we use natural resources for many things, the natural resources give us food, water, energy and building materials. 

Some of the natural resources are difficult to get or in a short supply, that’s why they are divided in non-renewable and renewable resources. The renewable resources are the ones that can be regenerated or grown fast, even faster as they are being used, while the Non-renewable resources cannot be regenerated on a useful timescale; for example: The fossil fuels and most minerals are non-renewable resources. 

The natural resources must be protected and preserved from pollution and overuse, because they are very important and necessary to develop our life. 

Water resource management, assessment, storage, and the provision of infrastructure for water storage and supply, including irrigation water and riverine storage, must be undertaken by the rural planning authorities to meet the needs of food production and population growth. While the demand for water for agriculture and industrial use is likely to rise during the next 20 years, only an estimated 30% of available water resources for the irrigation and domestic use are currently being utilized. The existing storage and distribution of water will have to be improved to meet the demand.
