For morning coffee to afternoon tea, caffeine is so thoroughly entrenched in our daily routines and has become the worlds most widely used psychoactive substance

Caffeine is a chemical compound that stimulate the central nervous system It accomplishes this by attaching itself to adenosine receptors in the brain In doing so, it blocks adenosine molecules, which are responsible for slowing down the central nervous system before we sleep The result? Adenosine cannot regulate and neurons start firing This results in a person's reduced fatigue and increased alertness and cognitive performance Side effects many seek by consuming caffeine

Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee beans, tea leaves, cacao beans and some tree nuts People have been consuming it for centuries But daily consumption took off sporadically at different times in different places around the world Coffee became popular in the 15th and 16 centuries But Cacao was used among early Mesoamerican civilizations hundreds of years

earlier Tea became popular by the 14th century in China during the Ming dynasty, but didn't catch on in Britain until almost 400 years later

Today, caffeine can be found nearly everywhere and more and more caffeine-infused products are hitting the shelves everyday In the United States, nearly 90% of the population has at least one caffeinated beverage everyday

Up to 400 milligrams of caffeine per day or about four cups of coffee is considered safe for

an adult Too much caffeine for any one person can cause side effects, such as migraines, insomnia, nervousness and muscle tremors One tablespoon of pure caffeine equivalent to drinking 75 cups of coffee at once can have lethal consequences Due to this risk of caffeine overdoses, in 2018, the United States Food and Drug Administration banned the bulk sale of products containing pure or highly concentrated caffeine

While caffeine may provide great benefits, such as increased focus, alertness and energy, it comes with considerable risks just like any other substance

Part 2

Good morning and welcome to yet another lecture in Environmental Science I don’t think

I am telling you a secret when I mention that water is a big worry here in Australia The stuff is scarce Perhaps that’s why we drink so much beer, eh?

Seriously, though, a safe and reliable source of water is one of the great concerns of

people everywhere Moreover, as the world population grows, the pressure on existing water supplies grows greater and greater Think about it Our economic system demands that there be more and more consumers The growing number of people has been tied to climate change, including droughts So more people means less water But our economic system demands a high birth rate Forget about oil Soon enough you will see wars for water Mark my words But today, I’m going to confine my remarks to Australia As noted already, here down under, the water supply is extremely scarce The only drier continent is Antarctica - and remember, no one really lives there anyway Moreover, in recent years, the wind patterns have changed Rain that used to fall on the country now falls out to sea hundreds of miles to the south

Now, when I speak of people needing water, most of you probably think of drinking Certainly everyone needs water for drinking But surprising as it may sound, drinking is not anywhere near being the main use for water Most water is actually used for washing When you take a shower, you probably use well over a hundred litres of water Every time you flush your toilet, that’s about eight litres But most people drink no more than two litres or so per day

So, where to get water? It could be obtained from rainwater, but often rainfall consists of other harmful pollutants that evaporated with the water In fact, acid rain, an intense example of

this, causes harmful effects on the wildlife of the habitat on which it falls Water from underground could also be used, though it is more difficult to contain and often must go through an extensive cleansing process The purest water is found in rivers, creeks, lakes, and dams And, sad to say, Australia has precious few of these Really, how many of your home towns have rivers? Year-round rivers, I mean The soil tends to be sandy, so water soaks into the ground Many places are rocky too, so 87% of the rainfall is lost to evaporation That’s almost twice the evaporation rate in my native Canada!

Speaking of rain, we already heard how rainfall is diminishing here in Oceania The quantity itself isn’t the only problem, either Going back to the problems with obtaining

rainwater, a further problem is that rain is a useful source of water only if air pollution is fairly mild Again, you’re in a situation where you can’t win You need water where most people live People tend to build cities where rainfall is adequate But then modern cities tend to feature polluted air which renders the rain far less easily usable OK, let's take a look at the table here, you’ll see it showing the relative pollution of rainfall in the world’s cities The more people, the dirtier the rain

This is becoming a huge concern for people in the West, who want their water to be pure and safe Though reliable drinking water is important everywhere, the concern in the West is reflected in all the government regulations and political campaigns aimed at solving this problem In contrast, there are not as many demands made on the governments in Asian and African cultures to improve the water, as their focus is on other issues

Now, whatever the source of water, we can never afford to forget that all water is highly vulnerable to contamination Whether we’re getting it from the ground, from bodies of water,

or rainfall, it is susceptible to a variety of toxins In fact, that’s why we clean it before using it: water carries with it filth and dirt This problem shows up in a number of different ways

As humans and all other animals need water to survive, it's no surprise to us that one of the most important domestic uses of water is for drinking Yet if you have old-fashioned lead pipes, you may slowly be poisoning yourself by drinking that nice clear water The industrial pollution, farm chemicals, and leaky landfills are well-known sources of contaminants as well

Part 3

M1: Food, we might say, is always on our minds! Here today in the studio we have nutritionists

Fay Wells and George Fisher, who’ll be talking about methods of food cultivation and related issues that concern us all Fay, let’s kick off with the ‘hot potato’ of the day, genetically-modified foods

F: Yes, you do hear a lot of hype from certain quarters on this topic But let’s face it, public

concern isn’t helped by the fact that the various scientific reports available seem to leave you

none the wiser On the one hand, you’ve got a group that’s finding GM foods to be quite safe and actually applaud them as a way of dealing with food shortages in certain countries Then, there’s another view that condemns them as potentially dangerous to health and insufficiently trialled; whilst at the same time pointing out, quite reasonably by the way, that the use of GM crops hasn’t actually made a dramatic difference to levels of food production worldwide In my view, it’s high time that science spoke with one voice on this issue

M1: So, George, are organic foods the safest option then?

M2: Well, people are horrified to hear the level of herbicide and pesticide residues that remains

in fruit and vegetables, even after they’ve been carefully washed, because they go straight into our system Organic foods are one way round that They don’t come cheap though, so it’s not currently an option for low-income groups, although that could come if mass production brings economies of scale And the residues retained in fruit and vegetables do vary, so some are safer

to buy non-organically than others It’s not an area that many consumers are clued up about, but there’s no excuse for that ‘cos there’s plenty of factual information available online The other aspect of eating organically, by the way, that people often forget about is meat-eating Many people prefer to buy organic meat since it doesn’t contain the amount of antibiotics and growth hormones that normal meat does

M1: So what else is new on the food production front?

M2: Well, there’s a movement afoot in the direction of something called ‘vertical farming.’ It’s

an attempt, as the name suggests, to make use of vertical, mainly city-centre, space Architects have designed skyscrapers filled with orchards and fields that have the potential to produce crops all the year round! The only drawback, as things stand at the moment, would be the prohibitive cost of the artificial lighting required! I know the idea sounds a bit far-fetched – pie

in the sky, we might say! – but it’s not impossible that this vision might become a reality one day Already, urban rooftop farming is being developed, plus some special greenhouses containing multiple racks of vegetables are in use in various parts of the world F: Another development, which sounds a bit spooky to me, is that of using nanotechnology in this area Basically we’re talking here about ‘atomically-modified’ foods containing invisibly small additives Some nano-scale additives and pesticides are already on the market and this looks as

if it might change the face of the large-scale food industry To me, it seems like it will confuse the picture even more as regards what we’re putting in our stomachs! What will be classified as ingredients?

M2: Yes, you’re not wrong there I believe some dietary supplements are also being

manufactured using nanotechnology Personally, I think that if people follow a reasonably healthy, well-balanced diet, they don’t really need to take extra vitamins – certainly not on a long-term basis, anyway

M1: So where would you stand on all this, Fay?

B: Actually, I’m just wondering whether people might not just react against all these

developments and, to be on the safe side, go back to more traditional forms of self-sufficiency! I’m feeling quite tempted, myself, to go and buy a goat and a few chickens and start planting lots of vegetables! In fact, I’ve been doing some personal research into this area and I’ve picked up a few valuable ideas Like, if you set up a self-sufficient smallholding or farm, you’ve got to be prepared to deal with an incredible barrage of rules and red tape, and you’ve

no choice but to toe the line Secondly, organic horticulture on a large scale needs quite a bit of investment Though, of course, you can simply concentrate your energies on cultivating enough crops for your own use

Part 4

The stone city of Machu Picchu is one of the most fascinating archeological sites on the planet Located northwest of Cusco, Peru, Machu Picchu is a testament to the power and ingenuity of the Inca people During its prime, the Inca civilization stretched about 2500 miles along South America's Pacific Coastline From modern-day Ecuador down into Chile This distance is nearly the horizontal width of the continental United States Machu Picchu located

at the center of this once expansive empire is one of the few well-preserved remnants of the Inca civilization Built around the mid-15th century, Machu Picchu is a stunning example of the Inca's engineering feats

The Inca constructed Machu Picchu's palaces, temples, terraces, and infrastructure using stone and without the help of wheels or tools made of steel or iron One particularly notable aspect of their construction is foregoing the use of mortar, a material often used to bind stones together Nonetheless, the stones of Machu Picchu were cut so precisely that they snugly fit together

Located on two fault lines Machu Picchu often experiences earthquakes but because of the stones' exceptional cut and fit, they bounce during tremors and then are able to easily fall back into position These engineering marvels have preserved Machu Picchu's remarkable condition for over 500 years

Machu Picchu's purpose is still a mystery to many archeologists Some theorize that it may have served as a ceremonial site, a military stronghold, or a retreat for nobility The site's geographic layout may be significant in another way Many of both the manmade and natural structures appear to align with astronomical events But in the early 16th century, only about

100 years after it was built, Machu Picchu was abandoned And since the Inca had no written language, no records exist to explain the exact purpose of the site

Although local communities knew about Machu Picchu, the site remained largely unknown

to the outside world for hundreds of years Spanish conquistadors who invaded the Inca
