The article recalls the opinions of scientists on the current state of the environment and the need for effective education in the field of sustainable development. It also presents considerations on the importance of human relationships (mainly between teacher and student but also student with him/herself). The aim of the study was to determine the knowledge and understanding of the role of relationships in solving environmental, educational and personal issues among the students of the Faculty of Biology and Agriculture of the University of Rzeszow in Poland. A survey was carried out among 100 participants, including 64 % of women. The research indicates that according to the surveyed students, the teacher should have authority and passion, and regardless of the subject they teach, they should also be interested in environmental problems with a good understanding of the assumptions of sustainable development. To save life on the planet, the majority of the students agreed on introducing the term "violence on the environment" in order to facilitate the creation of an ethical basis for improving the relationships with nature degraded in the 21st century by man. The respondents recognized the importance of good relationships with various people (student-teacher, student-student, etc.) as well as themselves. Highlighting these facts and disseminating them among teachers at all levels is of great importance and may be relevant for the effective teaching of the content related to sustainable development, which has become a priority. The study confirms the right assumption of a decade of education for sustainable development, concerning the necessity of constant education of various age and professional groups of the society around the world. There is little time left before it turns out that we will be the only species able to report their own destruction.
