Already in the classical era of the ancient Greece, at the dawn of philosophical thought; discipline that germinates to try to study and understand the human being as such, but to not eximia nature of it, as he felt the man part of it and vice versa; It is not uncommon to find literature with these signs and concerning Musso says:

... "The environmental education, which has its roots in Aristotle, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, among others, and after them the educational concepts of the natural world"... Source

The author poses where you begin to have interest in environmental education, but not where and how was born the concern? It is clear that there should be a reason to start a concern both in the classical era (Aristotle) and the modern (Rousseau and Pestalozzi). So, many activities induced new uses of natural resources, therefore, was gradually generating impact on the environment, either, by lifestyles that evolved along with the needs of human settlements, food, recreation and other determinants of civilizations.

These events have relevantemente anthropological significance with regard to the mode of life and culture of our ancestors, but are linked and we could link it clearly to the attitude of domination and expansion that have and continue practicing foreign powers with weaker countries industrial and military, with the clear purpose of use and savage exploitation of their natural resources, culture, custom and violation of human rights.

The reality of how and when was born the concern of man by the environment maybe not come Greek threshold, but the cry of the disadvantaged (poor and developing nations); poor lack adequate and solid educational structure with light and awareness that allows them to get out of inability to expand and create alternative economic development in harmony with the environment; Many Nations in these situations have the potential in natural resources, mineral and human; However, they lack organization and stewardship Government partner.

About the analysis, which is a fragment of my academic work, branching several links that are linked with reliable facts from the southern hemisphere (American continent), where land and Caribbean Islands Nations have accomplished situations such as the mentioned above; poverty and marginality is strengthening day by day and the (gross domestic product) growth indicators do not reflect the reality, widely handled with the statistical method say that there is a considerable growth, estimating the same based on exploitation, production and processing of natural resources.

Who makes these questions: would A case rate of human mortality and the biodiversity as a result of these activities, are debited from the calculations of the gross domestic product? Are the costs of medical, surgical and drug product of diseases associated with pollution, degradation and environmental destruction debited mentioned calculations? May these questions do not have a sincere response because they are excused in the so-called socio-economic development living Nations today; less could a Government responsibly talk about concern for the environment when it is not really sincere in formulating these questions and then set framed policies to compensate all the damage caused.

The official perspective, the concern of the man withby the environment starts gradually to the extent that increased the magnitude of the damage caused to nature as referred above, folly capitalist came to classify resources natural renewable and non-renewable, the man was not able to understand the components of nature are finite and none is only renewable, are sustainable and lasting in time and space if given a proper use.

It will not be until today when it turns the subject as the embarrassment of the century, we react or we continue with the destruction directly and indirectly from our own species? With these questions by way of conclusion, it is necessary to understand that such a concern can not be private, it must be collective, social and global. This issue is linked to this interesting post environmental
