Acquiring, processing and using knowledge in different undertakings is at the core of all actions performed by any human being. There is a necessity of constant education of children, young people and adults. The actions should be conducted by appropriately prepared teachers and be included in a well prepared system of schools and non-governmental organizations working together. One should emphasize that the goals of eco-logical education can be achieved only if it covers all aspects of formal and informal education.
