1. You could say that a rural area is somewhere far from a city. There is usually a lot of farms and agriculture in these type of areas. The countryside is a rural area.

Urban means somewhere in the city. We could say New York is an urban area.

2. There are some differences between urban areas and rural areas in Norway, but there may also be some similarities. I guess some of the biggest cities in Norway include both rural and urban areas, and the transition between the city and the countryside is quite smooth. Take Oslo for example; we have a busy city centre with lots of shops, people and so on, but just a little up north from the city we have “Nordmarka”.

I have never been to India, but I think  that the differences between rural and urban are bigger than in Norway. I read that people living in the city/urban areas have better living conditions. Another big difference is the population density.

3. That is insane. It shows how big the differences are concerning consumption. Some get more than others do, which is unfair. It also shows how important it is to try to keep a sustainable lifestyle.

4. There could be many reasons to choose this type of lifestyle. It is very good for the environment to produce your food yourself, because most types of food (or other products) are often been transported a long way before it even gets to you. This is a more sustainable way of living. Another reason for living this way could be to distance yourself from all the stress by linving in the city.
