Sažetak

We can perceive environmental education also as an education for a nicer and better life. We know for the latter one that we will have to change it drastically if we want to preserve our planet for future generations. In this article we firstly introduce the concept of environmental education and stress the importance of environmental literacy. Secondly, we present the results of the research that has been carried out on a sample of 56 teachers of the first triad and their 823 pupils. We identify the presence of environmental education in the process of planning annual school action plans, of performing environmental education and the willingness of younger pupils to cohabitate with nature. Finally, our results show that the more the teachers plan their environmental activities, the more they perform them. The more they perform positive environmental activities, the more pupils are environmentally active in their own free time.
