Abstract

In the system of the international communication between countries in the world in use is the term “Dirty State”. The term is a whole composed of characteristics related to the quality of the elements and the geo-physical situations on the environment on some territories in the divided international community.
According the negative picture and bad conditions of living in our social and nature ambience, with big amounts of garbage, dirty air and bad quality of the land and waters and the low living standards on its territory, the Republic of Northern Macedonia is classified as a problematic eco country. By the professionals in the fields and the tourist public, such a situation in the documents on this topic, in the critic world and in the sciences is unfortunately defined and marked as a “Dirty State”. Although this formulation causes uncomfortable feelings to the people in Macedonian society, but the facts are facts. However, the sciences and the knowledgeable in this issue (primary, the sociology and the ecology) confirms the nickname Dirty state as a real one. It is not only bad feelings or sort of theory of conspiracy, but it is obvious condition in the country.
Unfortunately, the pollution of the Macedonian living space (especially the garbage and the dirty environment) among the citizens of RSM is still experienced more as a greed, carelessness, homelessness, as a waste and pollution. But, it must be overrun as an opinion, as a practice and as a theoretical approach. There must overcome a new contemporary approach that the waste is a great resource which could save the world of living and production of the unknowing uncertain and dangerous future for the mankind.
The aim of this treatise is to contribute to further elucidation of the term, and to provoke further human efforts of the individuals and their communities and organizations in strengthening the quality of the environment, i.e. its further humanization.
