Abstract

The level of environmental protection awareness among students is not sufficient. Although the research was carried out at an interval of 11 years, the state of awareness has not changed to the extent expected, and, in some areas, the studies show a decrease in taking environmental action. Raising the level of environmental awareness and shaping attitudes is only possible in the course of environmental education and comprehensive information on the condition and needs of the environment and the pro-environmental activities being taken in the immediate and more distant environment. Students’ level of knowledge shows the need to take immediate actions which influence the information resource as a base to start shaping pro-environmental awareness. Ecologically aware individual will be undertaking in daily life environmentally friendly activities and will be making choices that are not harmful for the environment. The fact of deterioration of results indicates the need for intensive environmental education and verification of the effectiveness of various institutions in this respect.
