General discussion – itroduction to the topic What is ecology? Are you green? Do you recycle at home? What and how? What do you do to protect the environment? Do you like animals? Which? Do you like nature? Why? Do you make your own clothes? Have you ever planted a tree? Do you use public transport when you move in a town? Have you ever visited an ecological farm ? Have you ever made a fire in the forest? Do you think the Earth is in danger? Why? Have you ever been to a zoo? When and where? Do you drive a car? How often do you use it? Do you prefer living in the country or in a city? Would you like to work in a National Park? Have you ever been to a rainforest? Do you celebrate Earth's day? Have you ever cried after seeing a natural disaster? Do you ask for plastic bags when you go shopping? Do you think that preserving the environment is important for the people's future? How can we achieve environmental sustainability? What can the government do to lower CO2 emission? What natural recourses do we waste? Why? What do you know about endangered species? Describe one endangered animal. What eco-friendly products do you use? If you don’t, why? Have you ever been to a wildlife sanctuary? Why are they so important? Does consumerist lifestyle influence natural environment? Why (not)? Is organic food popular in your country? Why (not)? Talk about 3 things which, you think, are the most harmful to the environment. What’s your opinion on commercial forestry? Talk about irreparable damage caused by logging rainforests. How can we deal with a problem of overpopulation? How has climate change affected your country? How can we prevent soil erosion? What should we do to conserve water and energy?

Can you explain these words? BIODIVERSITY CLIMATE FOOD CHAIN ECOSYSTEM SPECIES CONSUMER EXTINCTION GLOBAL WARMING RAINFOREST ATMOSPHERE POLLUTION OIL ACID RAIN ENERGY SOURCE OZONE LAYER CHEMICALS PHOTOSYNTHESIS ENVIRONMENT BIODEGRADABLE WASTE DESERT HABITAT GAS DEFORESTATION TRASH DROUGHT CONSERVATION REUSE POPULATION FUEL What would you do in these situations? If you were dying of hunger, would you eat an endangered species? If you could be one extinct animal for one day, what animal would you be? Would you cut down a tree if it grew in front of your house spoiling your view and making your house dark? How would your life change, if you could only use solar power? What would you do if you were caught in the middle of an earthquake? If you could choose, would you rather be a mammal or a reptile? If you were the president, what would you do to protect wildlife? If we made people drink water they pollute, would they change their behavior? If you saw an old, sick beaver destroying a tree would you help the beaver or the tree? To save the energy, would you agree to use only candles at night? To fight overpopulation, would you let people have only one child? 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? Love nature as you love yourself. Actions speak louder than words. Protect the rain forest. Life on Earth depends on their preservation. Respect life – animal and plant. Don´t kill. Don´t pollute the air that you breathe. Don´t destroy the Earth by stripping it of its nutrients. Don´t kill or destroy for greed. Don´t reduce your environment to a litter dump. Don´t use up all the Earth´s resources. Life belongs to those who have not been born yet.

Discussion What kind of natural resources can you name? What are the natural resources used for? Which are the most expencive natural resources? What is depletion of natural resources?

Which states are famous for having much petroleum? What is petroleum used for? Which natural resources can be found in the sea? Are there any natural resources in the forest? Name some renewable resources? Comment these facts Freshwater only makes 2.5% of the total volume of the world's water. Consider that 70% of that freshwater is in the form of ice and permanent snow cover and that we only have access to 200,000km3 of freshwater overall. By 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity. Measured total global oil is 188.8 million tonnes (from proved oil resources at the end of 2010). This is only enough to oil for the next 46.2 years. There is enough gas only for 58.6 years of global production. As China and other developing countries continue to increase their appetite for coal, demand could finally outstrip supply. As it is, we have enough coal to meet 188 years of global production.
