We need to build a humanized society for the perspective of Environmental Education.
The traditional model of environmental management (very weak at the moment in Brazilian politics) is focused on punishing the company with fines and other administrative and legal instruments, rather than creating education policies and environmental incentives and citizen humanization process for this perspective, allowing create in Brazilian society a “feeling ” that all of us, I said all of us, are responsible for preserving and ensuring environmental resourses.
