Summary/Abstract: Humanity is faced with a series of problems, most of them in connection with the overturning of our system of values as contemporary society is dominated by consumption, by economic aspects. It's all about the economy. Population around the world is increasing, we are dealing with poverty and, paradoxically, there are areas in which food is wasted and resources fully exploited. What can we do when we have to feed billions and maintain the quality of the environment, conserve and protect? Political decisions are influenced by economic aspects and political decision makers behold helplessly, or with indifference, everything the environment loses every moment. Things must be changed; we must not focus only on organization of and participation in conferences on environmental problems. Everything is in vain if the conclusions we draw are not accompanied by concrete actions.
