Nowadays, the ecological range of problems has come to the list of the most important issues, which have appeared with all inevitability before mankind in the era of scientific and technical progress. Urgent problems of modernity are organically linked with it, the future of our civilization depends on the solution of these problems – the problem of the world and the issues of social progress, problems of demography, economy and energy, technology and health care, education, law, and many others.

With theexponential growth of production all production resources are growing, increasing the usage of capital, the flow of raw materials and energy, solid substances and wastes, which are increasingly polluting the environment.

The formation of ecological consciousness in the modern era, on the opinion of many scientists, is in four main areas: scientific, expressed in an effort to implement existing theoretical and practical knowledge about the existing communications in the natural world, about how you can avoid their violation in the course of production activity; economic – is expressed in the realisation of economic unprofitableness of manufacturing activity, which destroys the human environment; the cultural – manifests itself in an effort to preserve the natural environment as an element of cultural environment; political finds manifestation in people's desire to create conditions for the existence of appropriate human dignity.

Today there is a need for implementation of environmental education with the aim to enhance the sense of responsibility of each person for the conservation and rational using of the environment, bearing in mind not only the interests of the present, but also future generations.
