情態副詞

and we are foraging essentially for our lives.

未來進行式

Today we are going to be trying  to forage for our calories...

You're gonna help us grow things. We love you.

...and essentially learn  how to become farmers.

I really have to think about how to get protein.

I can't believe we broke being vegetarian for this.

Greg: And through our  YouTube channel AsapSCIENCE,

we detail some of the biggest  issues we're facing.

We know how to talk the talk,  now we have to walk the walk,

Mitch:  So we're taking our passion  for the environment

and scientific knowhow  out of the classroom

Mitch: One by one, we'll shut  off our basic necessities.

Production has officially turned off our power.

Allowing us  to experiment with everything  from new technology...

- You're literally going to   use pee to power your phone? - Yes.

God, it's, like, the most satisfying thing I've ever seen in my life.

...to find solutions  that promote sustainability.

Greg:  And with help from our team,  we will use science...

Mitch and Greg:  This is "Shut It Off Asap!"

Everything about my personality is very on-grid,

so I am nervous about what we are about to do.

- Is it too rustic? - Oh, an outdoor kitchen.

so it's gonna be a long time here at this little chalet.

So for sure, every aspect of this experiment

is really just going to be suffering for me.

- Oh, my God. Our new house! - Oh! Our new house!

I know there's a lot of work and fear and discomfort to come,

but for right now, I'm feeling excited. It's so quaint.

We want all of our knowledge of sustainability

and going off-grid to relate to the climate crisis,

Today our groceries are officially being shut off.

Greg: So that means we're not gonna have things

that we usually have in our trusty fridge in the cabin,

but we're being left with some staples over here,

some pasta, some oatmeal, some things that will make sure that we somehow survive.

We've been curious about where our food comes from, how it grows,

so we're gonna learn a lot about agriculture

and the climate crisis during this experiment.

We need to figure out how we're going to be subsidizing our calories

with the environment around us, which is going to be very nerve-wracking,

Let's talk about where the energy in our food comes from.

and then, using water  and carbon dioxide,  create glucose

which the plant uses  for energy to grow.

When you eat that plant  or eat an animal that eats that plant,

you consume calories that were  once light energy from the sun

released through nuclear fusion  150 million kilometers away

that are now stored in chemical  bonds in the fats, proteins,  and carbs we eat.

Chemist Wilbur Atwater  calculated their approximate  caloric content

to be four calories per gram  of protein and carbs  and nine calories for fat.

These figures give us  the caloric estimates we see  on modern food packaging.

The average adult male eats around 2,500 calories per day,

but we've been tracking ourselves with an app,

and we only eat around 1,800 calories per day.

So we wanna get as many of those calories from alternative sources,

and I wanna share my idea first. Is that okay?
