“…Another issue is the ignorance of many people; they are not interested in issues of human impact on the environment without even trying to expand their knowledge or open their minds to new knowledge. According to Moyal's and Schurr's [54] research, when people have a chance to avoid unpleasant knowledge about the potential negative results of their egoistic behavior towards others, most people refuse or avoid to having knowledge. Their research shows that the choice of being ignorant of the consequences of one's actions reduces prosocial behavior compared to situations in which people remain aware.…”

In the article, the authors discussed the topic of energy and media savings in a public transport company. The article is of a review nature, referring to 100 sources, including scientific papers, books, conference proceedings, and websites. In the first part, a detailed literature review on environmental protection problems in road transport and methods of solving them was conducted. Subsequently, the authors reviewed the literature content on maintenance as a pro-environmental activity in transport companies. The great accent was paid to the problem of saving energy and media in the maintenance of public transport buses. Based on the literature and knowledge, the authors proposed the possibilities of conducting a rational method of managing the operation and maintenance of buses from the point of view of environmental protection, based on the strategy of predictive bus maintenance.

Keeping pace with the ever-changing global landscape in terms of energy usage, carbon footprint and resource extraction is critical for environmental education (EE). For most of modern human history, the standard behavior for every day, household or institutional use of electricity in appliances, vehicles and lighting has been ‘off until turned on’. 21<sup>st</sup> century use of electricity in information and communications technologies including AI, ‘smart’ appliances, computers or buildings has reversed this polarity. It is argued in this paper that the new polarity is “ON” and that this opaque phenomenon may be creating a mindset involving “inattentive blindness” and “culpable ignorance” in regard to digital pollution. Rather than promoting an ecologically conscious mindset that critically examines personal and community involvement, this new, anesthetized mindset is flowing in an uncritical direction. EE curriculum needs to provide a critical focus on digital pollution and digital sobriety.
