In the work there had been articulated a consumer's ecological imperative. It's been j expressed by four principles: - select products and choose more environmental-friendly ones, - minimize (reduce) the range of the consumption, - maximize time and functionality of the product, - segregate refuses. Exploration of a consumer's ecological imperative pointed to the need for postulating the following rule, defined as product dematerialization, which would determine consumers behavior. For it is possible to choose the way of satisfying certain human needs, which does not require from the consumer's viewpoint, any purchase and therefore, any use of the functional form of material (energy). Sometimes short-term hiring of a product can be sufficient or purchase of service, which would in identical or almost identical ways satisfy the consumer's need. Except of simplicity of such aims, the initiation will be a long process, rich of many necessary treatments. There is a need of change of different system's elements, i.e., personals and whole society. The change of a global educational system has to be changed too. There is important to shape the abilities of treating the nature and social and economical increase in a systematic way. One shall prefer the habits, which limit the consumption and develop humanistic and ecological behavior.
