It is not only the next generation to whom environmental protection and environmental management are important – these concepts are serious today.
Changing climates, global warming, the greenhouse effect, a shrinking supply of energy sources – these ideas must be familiar to all of us; still, many perceive them to be problems for the more developed countries only. Online calculators are available to everyone to estimate the size of their ecological footprint (which is an estimate of the amount of biologically productive land and sea area needed to regenerate, if possible, the resources a human population consumes and to absorb and render harmless the corresponding waste, given prevailing technology and current understanding – Wikipedia), and we can experience how climates are changing first hand in the form of uncharacteristic, unseasonable weather. Obviously, it is not enough to realize that maintaining our modern lifestyle is questioned by more and more surveys; it is not enough to expect greater, or more developed, countries to make the first step to protect our environment.
