At present, society understands the essence of „green economy” differently. Some believe that these are new sectors of the economy that will improve the country’s nature. Others understand this expression as new technologies, a kind of ecosystems that are designed to help and benefit nature. Still others believe that this is a transition to a new development stage, which aims to create environmentally friendly products. All these approaches to defining a concept are very close to the meaning of the notion. An ecological economy is an economy designed to maintain the wellbeing of society through the efficient use of natural resources, as well as ensuring the return of final products to the production cycle. Firstly, the „green” economy targets the economic consumption of those resources that are currently undergoing exhaustion (minerals - oil, gas) and the rational use of inexhaustible resources.
