The understanding the relations between the man end environment should be carried out in secondary schools. But the schools of today in this field can do nothing of this type. In the first 8 forms the pupils are given only facts from certain fields of sciences, which cannon arouse an interest of a teenager to ecological sciences. The small chapter which is allocated for ecological education during the last months of teaching is very weak and it cannot play the role - to develop ecological orientation and ecological thinking of young people. In this we mean that they are not able to put the very simple question and give the correct answer: how our activities can influence the environment and what should be done to reduce the negative results to the minimum?

Having taken this into account the Board of the Ministry of Education of Georgia on July 21, 1994, on the basis of the project developed by the methodological council of ecology at the Ministry, decided took a decision which is envisages three important steps:

• Incorporation of ecological and environmental issues into the main subject of secondary schools,

• Introduction of special subject - " Man and environment" in the 9-th and 10-th forms,

• Additional publishing of manual for teachers for the mentioned subject. The development of such a manual was assigned to professor G. Kajaia and professor V. Supatashvili.

From the point of view of understanding present global problems the first and the second steps need particular attention. Firstly, they mean that the ecological education should be non-stop process and, secondly, they mean that the new ecological factor so called "Anthropogenic Factor" developmen and the results of their negative impacts should be considered.

Contemporary ecology is a complex field and is connected with such natural sciences as are Botany, Zoology, Geography, Chemistry, etc. Relevantly, ecological issues could be included in all this subjects.

The contemporary youth should know that the negative changes of environment had begun long-long before the Man appeared in the earth. The natural sources of pollution as well as the results of their activities are very varsetile.Coming into being and evolution of the Man significantly stimulated the further degradation of the biosphere, thou it should be noted that this process was dependent on several factors. In the beginning of the 19-th century when the population of the earth constituted about one billion poeple and thwe industry was just beginning to develop, the impact of the Man on the environment could be not very strong.

Visible development of th anthropogenic factor began about 100 years ago when three events coincided - increase of population, technical progress and intensive use of natural resources. Since then this factor increases exponentially which couses adequate degragation of the environment. The draft of the manual for teachers is already prepared. Unfortunately, its publishing is delayed.
