Due to constant pollution and increasingly aggressive environmental degradation in the twentieth century people began to realize that the planet’s resources were not infinite and since then several proposals were created in order to minimize degradation , among them the Ecological Modernization ( ME ) . The aim of this study was to discuss the limitations of Brazil , which elements of the ME would be capable of implementation on the Brazilian environmental reality and what their consequent benefits to the country. The methodology used we carried out a theoretical study prior reading and critical analysis of the article “ Ecological Modernization in Brazil: limits and perspectives “ written by Bruno Milanez 2009 , in order to discuss the main limitations of the ME and the benefits of implementing these elements . After reviewing the literature it was found that the ME , despite bringing positive aspects , will not solve the problems of Brazilian society . There is therefore the need to think of a new environmental policy and allied to the government concerned to participate in an environmentally smartening population , in all spheres , in a massive way and only way we can entertain the possibility of achieving concrete actions , among these , the effectiveness of ME in Brazil and different scenarios that may benefit the environment.
