Abstract
In the 20th century, industrial production, commodity consumption and other development indices are going up the exponential curve. Neither the Earth’s biosphere, nor economy, nor man as a biological species will be able to sustain this growth for long. As man’s economic activities are growing in intensity, they are bound to blend ever more organically with the biosphere. There is no alternative to this process of ecologization, because otherwise mankind will not be able to survive. Let us consider some of the needs and ways of ecologization of society’s activities that are already in evidence.
