Material and methods. The sample selection for the study was a non-random one as it involved a purposeful selection. The material consisted of the data obtained from the 3537 high school students. The research was carried out using diagnostic surveys. Results. The results of the research provide a basis for undertaking further education not only children and youth but also adults. Conclusions.

This process should be based on formal and informal activities and lead to the dissemination of an ecological culture model in which effective environmental protection conditions the society’s level of knowledge.
