Rezumat: The present work describes the results of a study designed to examine how the environmental thinking, development in the secondary school affects students' assessment of the benefit and risk of using synthetic packaging for food. The high school students' perception of the risk and benefit of the use of synthetic packaging for food undergo changes in the course of study. Indices of risk and benefit are proposed for quantitative monitoring of changes, calculated from an inquiry data collected from 6 groups respondents with 48 members each – students at the beginning, at the middle and at the end of their secondary school education and citizens. The risk index goes through a minimum, and the benefit index reaches its maximum at the end of secondary education. The benefit index remains greater than the risk index in the course of study, which indicates formed students’ notion of prevailing benefit over the potential harm from the use of synthetic packaging for food. Risk-benefit ratio for the surveyed groups is less than one (0,72). In comparison the same respondents estimate the risk-benefit ratio for industrial and agrarian production as 2.40 times higher.
