Can you explain these words?

What would you do in these situations?

1.If you were dying of hunger, would you eat an endangered species? 2.If you could be one extinct animal for one day, what animal would you be?3.Would you cut down a tree if it grew in front of your house spoiling your view and making your house dark?4.How would your life change, if you could only use solar power?5.What would you do if you were caught in the middle of an earthquake?6.If you could choose, would you rather be a mammal or a reptile?7.If you were the president, what would you do to protect wildlife?8.If we made people drink water they pollute, would they change their behavior?9.If you saw an old, sick beaver destroying a tree would you help the beaver or the tree?10.To save the energy, would you agree to use only candles at night?11.To fight overpopulation, would you let people have only one child?12.If you could help countries suffering from drought by taking a shower once a month, would you agree to do it?

These are the 10 amendments of ecology – what do you think about them?1.Love nature as you love yourself.2.Actions speak louder than words.3.Protect the rain forest. Life on Earth depends on their preservation.4.Respect life – animal and plant.5.Don´t kill.6.Don´t pollute the air that you breathe.7.Don´t destroy the Earth by stripping it of its nutrients.8.Don´t kill or destroy for greed.9.Don´t reduce your environment to a litter dump.10.Don´t use up all the Earth´s resources. Life belongs to those who have not been born yet.

This is only enough to oil for the next 46.2 years.5.There is enough gas only for 58.6 years of global production.6.As China and other developing countries continue to increase their appetite for coal, demand could finally outstrip supply.
