Summary/Abstract: Different ecological researches, that with each day arrive at some new frightening conceptions about the possibility of the human environment's near destruction, stimulate sudden environmental awareness. However, satisfactory answers to the danger that threatens us are not to be seen yet. The solutions offered are mainly ad hoc ideological (retrograde) reactions to the espied problem and are without ecohistorical basis. The pleaders of the so-called return to nature theory are becoming louder, new productions and energy sources which are supposed to be clean and not pollute the environment are being sought-after. However, they fail to realize that the environment is not endangered only by industrial waste, but above all by useful products adapted for human use.
