  ABSTRACT: Environmental Education has promoted to reflexive and intervening actions about productive processes in society. This term is quite comprehensive and its epistemological basis involves sustainability ideal achieving. So, in the search for new values about respect for life as a whole, formal education has offered great contributions. In this sense, the school is one of its biggest supporters. Forming citizens requires postures that stimulate thought and not a mere reproduction of content. The Brazilian policies foment and treat with compulsory the practice of environmental education in all its ambits. In this way, the objective of this work was to discuss such problems through a qualitative approach with an emphasis on content analysis and documentary research. As the main results, we believe that large international corporations, governments, and other entities must be more active and to suppress the practice of environmental education is to accelerate the scarcity of natural resources.
