Taking into account this goal the basic information derived from the field research conducted by the author – two surveys carried out in 2012 on unrepresentative samples of students of University of Economic in Katowice. Changes in the level of Poles environmental consciousness were based on information that originate from secondary sources – reports from nationwide researches conducted by specialized research agencies.
