For the survival of the human race we need to diminish the world pollution level and the use of our natural nonrenewable resources. Starting from these survival conditions, the paper presents an energy model of a semi self-sustained social subsystem with production and two levels of recycling. The first level is integrated into the whole system and starts automatically with the production and use, and the second level is driven by the social reaction to the environment pollution. The model is formulated on the level of energy and an equivalent energy (money) description, and the operation of individual module is controlled by the level of pollution in entire system. The nonlinear formulation of this problem, hard to solve analytically, was published already in [Cempel, Natke02], as the Eco Energy Processor. Here, some linearized approach is taken into account, looking for the possibility of stationary operation of the Eco Energy Processor. It was found, that in general, the pollution can rise asymptotically, when system operates, but with some special relation of structural parameters and input energy, the system can operate stationary with the small pollution level.
