Nature preservation directly depends on the environmental education of the society. Compared to the other member states of the European Union the ecological culture in Lithuania is still low. Morals is of utmost importance in achieving ecological culture. Environmental events is one of the forms for developing a modern personality, who understands and is able to solve the issues of nature preservation. Environmental evens (presentations, actions, excursions, etc.) should be intended not only to promote interest in environment but also participation in preserving it. This paper reviews the results of a survey carried out among the schoolchildren (5 – 8) of Vilnius Fabijoniškės and Vilnius Žemyna secondary schools. The aim of the survey was to analyse the importance of environmental events as a means of ecological and moral education. Concluding the results of the survey it may be said that the indifference of schoolchildren to nature is related to lack of environmental education in the family. Accordind to the data of the survey even 76.3 percent of respondents consider enviromental events effective. The school system developing a modern personality, who is able to live in the rapidly changing world and solve the issues that arise in it, including enviromental ones, should develop and implement environmental programs and take part more in the different programs supported by international funds.

Environmental accounting, as a newly developed cross-field subject, has been received increasing attentions in recent years. With public awareness of corporate social responsibility and sustainability, corporate environmental performance also has been aroused among social public, stakeholders, and internal management. Environmental disclosure, as an effective link between corporate management and social responsibility, is becoming a valuable research topic.   One unsolved problem of the environmental disclosure is the corporate behavior of listed companies in terms of environmental reporting in the post environmental events period, from 2005 to 2009. Those corporation environmental events, exposed by media, include over pollution, over emissions and illegal environmental activities. According to legitimacy theory, negative social perception and “legitimacy gaps” of the community result from illegitimate corporate activities, like environmental events, and corporations are therefore been threatened in its existence. In this case, enhanced environmental disclosure in annual reports is supposed to be an appropriate way to eliminate threats for corporations and ameliorate negative social perceptions. It imply that corporations with lower level of environmental performance are required to have more environmental disclosure for sustainability.   Some prior studies provided evidences that in the period from 1980 to 2002, after some incidents, corporations involved in these incidents indicate a higher level of environmental disclosure in the year when the environmental incidents happened, which align with legitimacy theory. Furthermore, there were incongruence previous results of the relationships between environmental disclosure and firm size and industry characters. We aim to find that whether the corporation environmental disclosure is in a relation with firm size and industry characters or not. And we are to revisit the association between corporate environmental performance and environmental disclosure.   This study took the quantitative method statistical technology was used for analysis. In order to get the answer for the research question, four hypotheses were set in this research. Finally, firm size and industry characters have no significant relationship with the level of environmental disclosure. The results indicate that the level of environmental information disclosure in annual reports of 2008 is higher than those of 2005. However, environmental events could not be deemed as a determinant of environmental disclosure, and the results partially support the legitimacy theory. The quality of environmental disclosure of 21 sample companies did not improve significantly in the year when the environmental events happened, but only the environmental disclosure sample companies with environmental events which happened in the year of 2008 improved significantly, compared with the previous year.
