Environmental Education (EE), especially schooling, was institutionalized worldwide approximately 40 years ago as the best alternative to the break in the nature- human population, but today its global impact, regional and local level is imperceptible. Nature has satisfied needs of societies and cultures, opposite, they have caused global environmental crisis expressed in loss of soil and biodiversity, climate change and pollution. It was considered that the EA could mediate this relationship, but why has not been achieved? Here are addressed and discuss possible causes: 1. Revised EA concept, which although was appropriate, consistent and has been used, not popular, making it impossible to achieve its purpose, which is the social renewal coexistence look. Two. It showed individual and collective actions, however is unknown what criteria and responsibilities according to their abilities. Three. Achieving EA has translated into policies, although well structured, point out indicators and any appropriate action and result. April. EA policy focused school as optimal scenario to become effective, unfortunately this has not changed mobilizing aspects. Finally, a formal proposal that includes various aspects that would allow EA success in a local context.
