Summary/Abstract: The term ‘ideology’ is used to refer to various political worldviews and frameworks. As a new social movement and modern ‘ideology of the survival of all living creatures’, ecologism focuses on the relationship between ‘the human being and the natural environment’. Research literature made it possible to formulate the hypothesis of the protection of human beings in the information environment of the life ecosystem. The aim of this work is to prove this hypothesis, to find con- tent disseminating the idea of infoecologism and to describe the elements of the infoecological consciousness. This article is based on reports presenting the results of research on using digital information as well as publications on the influence of the information environment on individuals. An attempt is made to use these works to answer the question about the beliefs and convictions as well as recommendations concerning the functioning of modern human beings in the information environment treated as an element of the life ecosystem. The formation of the infoecological con- sciousness is described in the conclusion.
