Abstract
The article discusses the problems of the limits posed to human expansion in the period between two world conferences on environment status. As the existing social solutions did not prove successful in creating balanced relationship man - nature, the need to establish holistic ecology, if ever to stabilize ecologic crisis, is expressed.
Holistic ecology is viewed through 3 components: material ecology would have to deal with environmental polluting caused by the economy expansion; social ecology task would be to slow down the negative processes in the society, diminish physical pollution; ecology of the personality would have to develop personal ethical values. The three components together show how to approach cosmologically the overcoming of ecological problems.
The conclusion critically discusses the Conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The author points out that social aspects of ecological problems have not been sufficiently emphasized with regards to the dangers of the material polluting.
