Summary/Abstract: The present article stems from my preoccupations related to British cultural studies, a direct consequence of my optional course on British Culture and Civilization delivered for the students of the Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest. The students' interest in some acute problems of today's world has prompted my concern with such topics, as well as with the way they are regarded in cultures different from ours. One of these topics is the issue of the global environment and its preservation. The way in which its different aspects have been approached, the reactions which they have produced in Great Britain over the years and, sometimes, even over centuries, are worth paying attention to, representing a source of reflection and a direction to be considered.
