摘要
The problem of protecting the Planet of Earth against harmful human activity is nothing new. It stems from the technological development of societies, and this technological development has an adverse impact on the environment - pollution of water, soil and air. Some countries and governments, and predominantly the members of the European Union, understand the seriousness of this very issue. However, the situation in other large countries is worse; those countries are often technological and military powers, which unfortunately fail to fully acknowledge the graveness of the issue. These countries include China, India, Pakistan, Russia, the USA, etc. Of course, the leaders of national governments vary in terms of education and, unfortunately, this is the reason why not all the Presidents and Prime Ministers understand the seriousness of the situation; therefore, during a wide discussion which took place in December 2015, as well as at other dates, and in which participated 179 heads of state, a resolution was signed under which individual countries adopted the calendar of decreasing the emission to the atmosphere mainly of carbon dioxide. In referring to the above fact, the article emphasises that a condition which will allow to understand the seriousness of the situation in the future is universal, thorough education in all the countries around the world, resulting not only from technical and technological knowledge, but also from certain philosophical and mental approach, which has to develop at a level as early as that of small children, even at a preschool age. Obviously, from the pedagogical point of view, such knowledge shall be communicated at the philosophical and humanized level, in order to develop a habit later on in the future, when those children grow up and when some of them enter various self-government organisations, parliamentary organisations or international associations, and when they vote, thus making decisions about resolutions and ordinances concerning the protection of the Earth. That is why this article somehow comprises a technical part (point 1), a philosophical part (point 2), and educational part (point 3), which constitute, in its summing up, its own final conclusion (point 4), stating that the lack of knowledge enslaves and education (ecological in this case) leads to liberation.
