At present life demands a more conscientious, collaborative and responsible attitude concerning the way we are using everything we produce. In spite of living in a social environment that stimulates our consumerism, are we really prepared to think about it more conscientiously? Is it up to school to discuss this theme or should other contexts take over such a discussion? This research aims at investigating how consumerism is being dealt with in the educational environment. To reach this objective, we will initially make a bibliographical study on the proposed theme, trying to analyse the researches that have already been made. Additionally, in order to complete this first moment, we will study how the theme consumerism is being approached in official documents such as the National Curricular Guidelines and Parameters. The next step is to learn how teachers are approaching this theme at school, and in order to do so, we will forward questionnaires and will also interview teachers that work with groups of students that are finishing elementary school. The objective of making use of such activities is to identify pedagogical practices teachers resort to. The characteristic of this research is to develop a qualitative study with descriptive character. In short, the work has academic and social relevance, as it intends to identify, think and reflect the current consumerism, a problem that is masked and naturalized by society. So, it is justified by the need to think the school as well as education as an instrument capable of freeing individuals from the oppression and the naturalization of some behaviors, through critical awareness.The paper will use theoretical references such as Zigmund Bauman (2008), Benjamin R. Barber (2009) Livia Barbosa (2004), Ironilda Strapazzon & Ana Maria Netto Machado (2012), Claudia Regina Rech Rossoni (2010), Renata de Souza Guerra (2010), Paulo Freire (1967 e 1975), Maria da Graça Nicoletti Mizukami (2013) e Eduardo Galeano (2009).
