Background: This study draws upon the use of Information Systems in support of achieving sustainability, known as Green IS. Furthermore, this study builds on the premise that Green IS offers the opportunity for organizations to act proactively in terms of environmental preservation as well as to mitigate the effects of global climate change and other environmental problems. Aim: In particular, this study aims to assess the extent of awareness among managers regarding the use and the acceptance of Green IS in Slovenian enterprises. Method: Using empirical data based on a large-scale survey among senior managers within Slovenian enterprises this study utilized several statistical methods (such as t-test, analysis of variance and multiple linear regression) to analyse the research questions. Results: In general, findings seem to suggest that institutional mechanisms might be a plausible explanation for differences regarding the attitude towards Green IS adoption. For instance, enterprises with at least one implemented sustainability related certificate expressed higher levels of willingness to use Green IS in order to facilitate the achievement of sustainable development. Moreover, the results of the regression analysis revealed that both Institutional Mimetic pressure and Internal Environment Impact has positive impact on Green IS adoption. Conclusion: The main conclusion is that the internal environmental impact is considered the most influential factor of the attitude towards Green IS adoption. The culture or individual perception of managers and employees play an important role in the Green IS adoption. Indeed, enterprises that have no intention of improving their environmental performance, but adopt Green IS by the means of seeking legitimacy among external stakeholders, cannot provide a sustainable improvement in environmental management.

The article presents the concept of ecological security and it’s relation with the utilization of natural resources. Ecologicalsecurity has become equally important with military security, economic security, political security, and national security. Seriousenvironmental challenges arise on global and local levels, especially created by excessively exploiting natural resources and causingenvironmental risks, therefore, in the regulation of utilization of natural resources ecological security becomes an important issue.The first part of the article presents the essence and importance of ecological security. Ecological security transcend nationalborders, various aspects of the utilization and protection of natural resources are regulated by the international and regionallegal acts. The condition and quality of air, water, land, flora, fauna, etc, do not depend only on one particular State, but onthe Global community. Therefore ecological security issues are regulated on the international level. In the second part of the articlethe review of the international and regional legal regulation that defines the requirements for the utilisation and conservationof natural resources is presented. Declarations of the United Nations provided a framework for development of environmental law,which aims to find the right balance between states’ rights and obligations in the utilization of natural resources. Types of naturalresources and emerging threats for ecological security while utilization of these natural resources are presented in the third partof the article. The main natural resources which utilization is related with ecological security are: oil, gas, water resources, subsoilresources, mineral resources, forest resources, fish stocks, energy resources. The rational use of natural resources means the useof resource making it possible for current and future generations to achieve the common good, but within the permissible limitsof environmental impact.

The natural environment of a human being consists of natural ground (where one can find food) and a society (in which one lives). Additionally, the person constitutes his or her own environments. This article explains the process of shaping ecological awareness during the Second Republic of Poland (1918 – 1939) in the pages of the yearbook “Wierchy” printed in Lviv since 1923. “Wierchy” replaced the journal “Pamiętniki” (which had been published by the Polish Tatra Association until 1920). It was devoted to the issue of the problems of the mountains and its territory and culture – as an organ of the Polish Tatra Association (published by the General Management together with the Lviv branch of the Association). The editorial committee consisted of prof. dr Jan Gwalbert Pawlikowski (editor–in-chief), prof. dr Adolf Chybiński, prof. dr Walery Goetel, dr Roman Kordys, and Major Bronisław Romaniszyn. The yearbook included numerous scientific articles explaining the significance of the idea and practices for the protection of flora and fauna in the Tatra Mountains. The urgent need for the protection of the Tatra environment was described in the journal as was the cultural determinants of human relationships with nature using examples from scholarly, poetic and musical works which form Polish cultural heritage.

Air Protection is clearly an issue regulated both under Polish, as well as international, law especially European Union law. The area of this regulation is part of wide-ranging environmental protection issues, the essence of which should be considered mainly in the light of the numerous socio-economic transformations of the late twentieth century, as well as the development of the structures of the European Union and the Polish membership of this organisation since 2004. Currently, the broad regulations on air protection have been amended many times already by the Act of 27 April 2001. Environmental Protection Law and implementing Acts issued on its basis, define first and foremost the principles for the protection of the environment and conditions for the use of its resources, taking into account the requirements of sustainable development and, in particular, the rules determining the conditions of conservation of the environment, the conditions for the introduction of substances or energy into the environment, the costs of using the environment as well as the responsibilities of authorities and responsibilities and sanctions. Its provisions do not apply to matters covered in nuclear law and in respect of the obligation to hold a permit, issue a decision on an acceptable level of noise, or pay fees in the case of conducting rescue operations, as well as the noise arising in connection with the widespread use of the environment. This article includes the issues of formation and characteristics of the current normative regulations relating to the protection of the air as part of the environment both in regard to Polish, as well as foreign, legislation.

In recent years, the term "human ecology" has become a shibboleth within the Catholic Social Doctrine (CSD). In magisterial jargon, it describes a broader understanding of ecological issues, as well as a specific approach to environmental protection. In the paper, the meanings of this term from the perspectives of the last three popes (St. John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis) are elucidated. The CSD is committed to such an approach to the environment which is based on the principles of ecological interdependence between terrestrial nature and human societies. Moreover, the CSD strongly emphasizes not only the vertical relationship between nature and humans, or human communities amongst themselves but also the horizontal relationship of the individual towards her/his Creator, i.e. God. Such an anthropocentrism is then rather weak when compared to one that completely subordinates nature to the total autonomy of man.

This study examines media usage and the effect of viewing media violence on Nigerian children. Child violence has become massive in recent years. There is also the fear that it will be worse in the future. Many claimed that the rise of child violence emanates from the use of violent media. The objective of this study is therefore to examine the impact of electronic media use on some of the violent acts carried out by some Nigerian children. The study uses sociological and analytical methods. 70 questioners were printed and distributed to parents. 59 questioners came back but 2 were incomplete and were destroyed. 57 were used. The focus of the study is on children between the ages of 0-12. The study area is Sapele Delta State. The study finds that children between the ages of 0-6 love more of educational programs while children between the ages of 7 to 12 prefer films with violent content. Also, viewing violent films makes children develop aggressive and violent behaviour especially fighting and bully towards their friends. It is my recommendation that caregivers give closer attention to their children and reduce their engagement with violent media. This, no doubt, will help to reduce the rate of violent act among Nigerian children in the future.

Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental and public health concern globally, with detrimental effects on ecosystems, human health, and socio-economic development. One way to a safer global environment is encouraging rural communities to manage solid waste and reduce plastic pollution. This study aims to explore the environmental governance and political economy of plastic pollution management in rural communities of Ogun State, Nigeria. By examining the interactions between governance structures, political actors, and socio-economic factors, the study seeks to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with plastic waste management in rural areas. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, to obtain comprehensive and detailed findings. The results of the study indicate divergent interests among stakeholders regarding the management of plastic pollution and environmental concerns in rural communities of the Ijebu region in Ogun State, Nigeria. The research emphasizes the importance of supporting community-led environmental initiatives that adhere to established environmental guidelines for effective solid waste management, with particular emphasis on plastic waste, in rural areas of Nigeria.

This work presents a study of the essence of the “green” economy and its importance for improving the well-being of people, its features in contrast to the traditional or “yellow” economy, investigated its relevance to the innovation economy, to the sustainable economic development, to the economic development, and to the economic growth. It’s investigated the current level of development of the green economy in Georgia and its prospects. The vast majority of modern economies are characterized by the waste of natural resources, the economic value of resources is not maximally used. Such an economy, that is based on the growth of profit, on the maximum satisfaction of today's demands is called a straightforward economy. The linear (straightforward) economies have limited resources that are not effectively used and a large number of waste has a negative impact on the environment. The “circular” economy is the opposite of the linear economy, which is focused on the maximum utilization of the economic value of the natural resources and minimizes pollution of the environment “Green” economy, “Brown” economy, Natural capital, “Green” Growth, “Green” Employment, circular economy, Linear economy, waste, Environment, Protection of nature W pracy przedstawiono badanie istoty „zielonej” gospodarki i jej znaczenia dla poprawy dobrobytu ludzi, jej cech w przeciwieństwie do tradycyjnej lub „żółtej” gospodarki, zbadano jej znaczenie dla gospodarki innowacyjnej, dla zrównoważonego rozwój gospodarczego i wzrostu gospodarczego. Zbadano obecny poziom rozwoju zielonej gospodarki w Gruzji i jej perspektywy. Zdecydowana większość współczesnych gospodarek charakteryzuje się marnowaniem zasobów naturalnych, a ekonomiczna wartość zasobów nie jest maksymalnie wykorzystywana. Taka gospodarka, oparta na wzroście zysku, nazywana jest prostą ekonomią opartą na maksymalnym zaspokojeniu dzisiejszych wymagań. Gospodarki liniowe (proste) mają ograniczone zasoby, które nie są skutecznie wykorzystywane, a duża ilość odpadów ma negatywny wpływ na środowisko. Gospodarka o obiegu zamkniętym jest przeciwieństwem gospodarki liniowej, koncentruje się na maksymalnym wykorzystaniu wartości ekonomicznej zasobów naturalnych i minimalnym zanieczyszczenie środowiska. gospodarka „zielona”, gospodarka „brązowa”, kapitał naturalny, wzrost „zielony”, zatrudnienie „zielony”, gospodarka o obiegu zamkniętym, gospodarka liniowa, odpady, środowisko, ochrona przyrody

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza regulacji prawnej zawartej w art. 4 ustawy z 27 kwietnia 2001 r. – Prawo ochrony środowiska. Regulacja ta dotyczy generalnych zasad korzystania ze środowiska. Z przeprowadzonych rozważań wynika, że jest ona dotknięta poważnymi mankamentami. Jawi się jako mocno niekompletna i pozbawiona wyraźniejszej myśli przewodniej. Niejasno rysuje się też jej funkcja i relacja do przepisów szczególnych normujących korzystanie ze środowiska.

What is the subject of the article is the analysis of a legal regulation contained in art. 4 of the Act of 27 April 2001 — Environmental Protection Law. This regulation applies to general rules of utilizing the environment. It follows from the considerations that the law is affected by serious shortcomings. It appears to be incomplete and without a clearer idea. The function and relation to specific regulations concerning the utilization of the environment are also vague.

So far unappreciated, even unnoticed by most work studies of work, natural environment is presently experiencing a renaissance, which is expressed in the search for more eco-friendly methods of work, the wider application of unconventional heating systems, not only in industrial activity, but also in households. Moreover, it is also experiencing a gradual departing from non-biodegradable packaging and products in favour of those biodegradable in a short period of time. These assumptions are relevant for work and the life of people and the need to make both more eco-friendly. This task applies to the activities of different scientific disciplines, including pedagogical and work studies, considering work in various aspects, on the basis of which they attempt to reveal expectations towards nature, the work itself and the people who are living and working in it.

Dotychczas mało doceniane, wręcz niedostrzegane przez większość nauk o pracy, w tym przez pedagogikę pracy, środowisko przyrodnicze obecnie przeżywa renesans. Poszukuje się przyjaźniejszych mu metod pracy, powszechniej stosuje niekonwencjonalne systemy grzewcze, nie tylko w działalności gospodarczej, ale i w gospodarstwach domowych. Wreszcie odchodzi się od opakowań i wytworów niebiodegradowalnych na rzecz ulegających biodegradacji w krótkim czasie. Owe założenia kierują się w stronę pracy i życia człowieka oraz wynikają z potrzeby uczynienia ich przyjaznymi środowisku przyrodniczemu. Zadania te wpisują się w działania kilku dyscyplin wiedzy, w tym pedagogicznych i nauk o pracy, rozpatrujących pracę z wielu punktów widzenia i starających się na tej podstawie ukazać oczekiwania wobec przyrody, w tym samej pracy oraz pracującego i żyjącego w środowisku przyrodniczym człowieka.
