Abstract

Social and environmental crises of modernity, whether environmental or economic character, aggravated by the capitalist model of production and dominant consumption, instigate societies by looking for ways to increase the balance of relations between man and nature and reduce social inequities. In this perspective, it is emphasized that these processes depend on paradigmatic changes that reflect comprehensive ethical values and environmental education has a strong ally, to encourage critical reflection and participation of individuals in the face of public policies. As appropriate to the theme of literature analysis, Brazilian legislation has been giving formal support to environmental education, even though in practice it is not a priority. This time, it is possible claims that the timing is important paradigmatic changes with regard to the importance given to environmental education, however, the practice effective actions is still short of actual needs of contemporary societies.
