INTRODUCTION
My name is Nikoleta Butchevinova. I am living in Sofia, Bulgaria and I am a student in the University of Sofia. My specialty is "Primary Pedagogics with Spanish language". I have DELE in Spanish from the Spanish High School in Sofia "Miguel de Servantes" and Certificate in English from Cambridge.

I like the communication with different people, and the World Wide Web gives the opportunity to all of us to exchange thaughts and oppinions, cultures and to make relationships, why not friendships. That's the main reason I took a part in this Internet-project course. Moreover, I am glad to be a part of an international team of intelligent and skilled people, and I would like to learn more.

MY PROJECT
"Conservation of the environment"

Ecological education is complex and continued process,in which school society and family have to coordinate their efforts. Nowdays everybody has to know more about the relationship�between the man and environment and has ecological knowledge because the future of our planet depends on that. The unconscientious attitude towards the nature, the ignorance of the law of nature and thoughtless using of natural resources upset the balance and cause ecological crisis. The way to solve all those problems could is by teaching,educating and training pupils even in the primary school.�Just by doing the little things is enough to help our world. As humans, we need to understand to respect the planet that we actually live on.

Hypothesis
We are going to compare Bulgarian and German pupils, I suppose their attitude is going to be contradicting. In my opinion, German students are going to be much more positive than Bulgarian ones, because here in Bulgaria we don't respect enough our beautiful nature, and I think we need some ecologist organisations,such as "Greenpeace" to work and to establish some rules to follow.

CONCLUSIONS
Bulgarian pupils are not aware with the pollution problems, in comparison with the German ones. In Germany the education system has provided information over the- changes in the climate, garbage, CO2,exhaust gas pollution, waste, Water pollution, nuclear power station high water, flood, smog, fume, forest fire, hole in ozone layer. Maybe, the parents at home are talking more with their kids over this topics and that's why they know more. In Bulgaria, the preferred way of traveling (getting by school) is by car. The children are accommodating themselves by the idea of using the automobile, and not walking. In this way, they don't think about their own health and neither about the nature. Compared to the German pupils, the Bulgarian ones are wasting more water and electricity, and they don't separate well their garbage, which shows worse education, connected with the environment. The teachers of the both countries are in concord with the following statement: "The pupils at primary school know about the environmental problems and they try to realize their knowledge about protection. Maybe they don't realize it consequently because of their own comfort." In the both countries, the educational systems are following the ideas of Komenius for the natural learning, by the sense perception.

Resources to make the situation better:

1.We think, that at school the children should study more topics, related with the air and water pollution. They should know, that they are a part of the living world and they are supposed to care and protect it every day. 2. There should be meetings with the parents (for Bulgaria), with the same idea, in the evenings.

3.The pupils should take a part in ecological projects; or they should watch films

After the surveys, that took part in Germany and Bulgaria my partners and I have the following statements over the topic:�• The teachers in the primary school are supposed to spend more time on the themes, connected with the nature, so that th young men could absorbe and assimilate the idea of preserving the environment.�• **How to do that?- 1. By creating ecological clubs, where the pupils are going to upgrade thier knowledge;Moreover, they are going to obtain culture, manner of behaviour in the public and the nature, and abilities to be a part of a conservation group. For this, it is necessary to be chosen particular topics(by the teachers and pupils); the next step is to form groups for the green project and to number values to follow, and after that the kids make decisions. They are participating in discussions, where they are presenting their statements. It is good if they have a leader/host ,who gives rules/bullets to follow. The teacher is refreshing with new ideas and facts for the environment.�**2.Idea of developping electronic ecological school system- it is goîd for the cognitive development of the youth, for the upgrading of their constructive and creative thinking. It is motivating them by giving them a chance to work out one assignment by the devices of the multimedia, no matter if it is related to a grren project, or just homeworks.�As the survey shows in our investigation, Germany’s Ministry of Education has developped such new innovations in it’s school systems and Bulgaria is still new in this area.

Our project finalized by admission of our hypothesis.

STRATEGY OF THE PROJECT
1) To compare the psychological characteristics,behaviour and education of the German and Bulgarian students/pupils.

2) To investigate the attitude towards the environment, (coming from their parents, from the school and the teachers,.....)- by inquiries. 3) To examine the readiness of participation in the saving and controlling the pollution.
