THEORETICAL RATIONALE FOR THE NECESSITY OF THE GENERAL APPROACH TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN THE FRAMEWORK OF ECOLOGICAL EDUCATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE
In the article, theoretical bases of the necessity of ecological education and education, including consideration of the elements of the environment as a whole, as well as the surrounding natural environment, investigated in the article. The importance of not only the general content of the excursion, but also the specifics of the activities of the organization on which the excursion is planned is emphasized. Authors invited to conduct various ecological excursions that would allow young people to form their own idea of the state of the environment, both in natural areas and at industrial facilities. After all, the environment is not only natural - the “first” nature, but also a lot of man-made, artificial environment - the “second” nature. After all, only the formation of one's own opinion, based on what has been seen, will allow us to optimize the state and improve the attitude of people towards the environment. It is important that children clearly see the difference between them, and understand how important it is to preserve the “first” nature, not only in specially protected areas. Such an approach will improve the ecological culture and consciousness of the population not only during the trip to nature, but also in the urban environment and in industrial production, will show the importance of conservation and rational use of natural resources.
