Environmental protection is becoming an increasingly common topic both at the local and national levels and globally. After the beginnings of industrialization, nature became less and less important to man and he looked for ways to build as many homes, factories and other institutions as possible to meet his needs for work, culture, education and life in general. This started deforestation, the creation of increasing waste, pollution of water, air and everything that surrounds it. Man has forgotten his connection with nature and that he was created from it and that his role on Earth is to nurture, respect and protect it. At the end of the 20th century, a significant interest in the environment began. Since then, there has been frequent talk about the consequences of man's hand on nature and all living and non-living beings. It also discusses the possible consequences of destruction that could lead to the destruction of all of humanity through food and water shortages and climate change on Earth. Therefore, it is the duty of each individual to become aware of the importance and significance of the environment and to protect it from further major destruction. The upbringing and education of children from the earliest age can and must contribute the most to this, because the way children are raised and educated, they will behave towards the environment and all living and non-living beings when they become adults. It is necessary to instill in them knowledge and values for which they will treat everyone and everything around them with love, respect and care. In this way, it will be possible to influence future environmental destruction, which will be able to be reduced and / or completely stopped, and man will become part of nature again, living with it and for it, and not against it.
