Ecology is a hot topic nowadays. Taking care of it is essential to our existence on Earth. There is plenty of work being done to improve the ecological situation. But a small group of avid supporters can come only so far without a consensus in the society. One way to raise public awareness of the ecology question is through the news. Anybody familiar with the scientific method knows: you cannot improve what you cannot measure. Hence the topic of this paper. We attempt to measure the general awareness of the ecology-related topics through text mining of Ukrainian news articles.
