Summary/Abstract: Since human being found the fire and passed from the gathering to hunting, simultaneously he communicated with the nature and he treated his environment of which he thought he could take its advantages unlimitedly very roughly. However, today in the age of capitalist relations of production, after the destruction of years exercised on nature for thousands, the pressure on species and ecosystems have changed qualifications and have been globalized. The industrial revolution caused ravages so that it could have made way for vanishing species, and destruction of not only micro ecosystems but also macro ecosystems and even world ecosystem. Therefore, the question of the possibility of sustainable development in conditions of capitalist accumulation is an appropriate question in this context. In this article, we adopted the definition of sustainable development as described in Our Common Future Report and accepted an ideal goal to be achieved. In light of Schumpeter's analysis of capitalism as a ''process of creative destruction'', possibilities, possible signs and limitations of an ecological renewal will be investigated in this study.
