The problem of Light Pollution exists most everywhere, and is still growing rapidly. The maintenance of dark skies at a prime astronomical location but as well elsewhere depends very much on the awareness of the public, and particularly with key decision makers responsible for developments, including lighting engineers. It is necessary to continually promote awareness of light pollution and its effects. Thus the preservation of the astronomical environment is strongly connected and requires effective education. We will present the educational project that the newly formed Commission for the prevention of Light Pollution, of the Hellenic Astronomical Society will support based on innovating teaching of Astronomy. The framework of the project will be to collaborate through our National Pedagogical Institute with all possible school networks so to efficiently introduce the topic to schools and to relate it with our national curriculum. The help of Astronomers and Lighting Engineers through the respective Commission will facilitate and will provide the natural environment for this educational project. The duration will be two years, and through the project we expect the students-teachers to act as "reporters" for this serious problem.
