To comprehend nature as the basis of our existence demands special approach to the regulation of our behavior, related to the environment. The law, to be specific, environmental law, is the most important tool helping us by this aim. While we need it to be effective, we should form it properly at the beginning. Nevertheless, there is always some extra space to improve it’s shape. The next step means another goal – the question is how to achieve that these norms will be internalized. Only environmentally aware people will be strict by respecting environmental law, however we still have a chance to achieve it’s adherence with repression but it should be our ultima ratio assets. Making people environmentally aware is one of the most important steps in achieving progress in environmental area. Besides, there are some presumptions we should consider in our approach to the environmental law which are determining this law itself; building our law system on these foundations should make achieving our goal much easier. This dissertation reveals my view of the presently situation with my suggestions what and how should be improved (such as the increase of environmentally awareness, consistent execution of the principle “polluter pays”, more strict criminal legislation, rewarding system for environment-friendly subjects, the participation of public in all the processes, reinforcement of control mechanisms, …), to reach more effective environmental law so that it will fulfill its primary purpose – to protect nature so well it will offer healthily living environment even for future generations.
