Abstract

Mexico is in a critical situation that has become more acute in recent decades. Now social problems have grown to environmental problems. Governments have not been able to understand or address the compounded problems of today. Individuals and societies have been hit by these problems, the nature as well. In the absence of solutions people have created their own movements and raised positions. By collecting directly applied interviews to participants and non participants in events of very different magnitudes, the information was gathered to witness and make it known demands, attitudes and suggestions of all these people and groups who are environmental affected and to release in summary form, the democratic struggles that are taking place across the country for environmental justice. Likewise, a comparison with other actors in other struggles within the Mexican country released by other authors and procedures has made. It’s noted that neoliberal capitalism is the real reason for the imbalance in the country and it’s noted too that there are people that generates hope for a better life, closer to sustainability.
