In recent years, technological development has grown enormously and reached unprecedented levels. Like no other time in human history have been so many discoveries in all fields of science, creating an unparalleled production productivity. But also, is the period in which the human being over produced means that can take you to your own destruction. Well, this is time intensive and rampant degradation, soil contamination, water, air and irrational use of natural resources that there's a new concern for our quality of life, change the behavior of populations of Brazil inland tract with environmental issues. It discusses the lack of population in the countryside of Brazil in the practice of environmental conservation, which previously was done regularly, changing the outlook of many scholars and causing strangeness with regard to this type of behavior. Thus, we have aimed to inquire why the intensification of degradation in recent years in corporate interior of Brazil, previously taken by many scholars as naturally green, conservative, etc.. There followed a methodological way of observation, visits to places degraded, interviews, collections of information and record in notebook. It is hoped in this way, as a result, we can become aware of the seriousness of the situation that is our planet in order to obtain the necessary means to overcome the existential crisis of a more sustainable way possible, which is characterized by this even be a question of survival. The results point to the need to develop an environmental education project, as a factor of this intense repairing environmental degradation in inner cities of Brazil. As well, we become aware of the seriousness of the situation that is our planet, so that we can find means to overcome the existential crisis of a more sustainable way possible, which is characterized, therefore being a matter of survival.
