The paper points out to the paradoxical character of our contemporary life: while the comfort of our life is still growing, the conditions of life in general are getting still worse. In the author's view the ecological crisis we are facing now has two possible outcomes: the humankind will have to undergo a fundamental transformation, or there will be no change at all: the humankind will perish from this Planet. The first of two means a transformation of persisting anti-nature, so called 'pre-ecological' culture, which should become a pro-nature and pro-life (biophil) one, i.e. a culture of life. Therefore we have to re-estimate and transform our values, as well as our social behavior, so that they correspond the nature of humans as one of the biological species.

Academician V.I.Vernads'kyy, founder of Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, expressed an idea on biosphere transformation into noosphere through anthropogenic impact commensurable with geological phenomena. Noosphere idea became the basis for the progress of environmental researches at institutions of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. As a rule, such researches cover a wide range of environmental problems beginning with the study of the nature of biological diversity of continental and water ecological systems up to evaluation of environmental risks caused by pollution. Great attention is paid to the development of ecological monitoring methods, improvement of ecological quality of environment and restoration of biological diversity to be the basis for steady development.

The author shows in his article that hopes related to globalization, which were also supposed to overcome the results of ecological crisis, have not come true. Such status quo is connected with the fact that nowadays the man has biggest influence on functioning of the world ecosystem, the man who exists in two environments simultaneously: social and cultural ones. According to the author all crisis phenomena have a global range, and what is more they consist of both environments in which the man functions. Therefore, every crisis, ecological one included, is severely felt, especially by people. Human communities were able to function in any environment, if they could accept and realize a form of the rule of sustainable development, which included functioning of anthroposphere and biosphere at the same time. Communities which were not able to do this were collapsing and even disappeared. Concluding, the author claims that also now there exists such a requirement, and thus the rule of sustainable development, propagated nowadays, is a consequence of historical experience of our species and the best way to provide optimum conditions of development for both humanity and natural environment.

This article looks at the inspiration from the ideas of Hildegard of Bingen to change people's behaviour to solve the current ecological crisis. This topic is very actual, it was also addressed by Pope Francis in the encyclical Laudato Si’. Hildegard of Bingen based her works on the visions she had. According to her, the world was created in harmony and in the fullness of life, which manifested itself in nature as greenness (viriditas). It was violated by the first sin of Adam. Jesus’ redemptive work restored this harmony. Every person can restore harmony in nature by striving for a virtuous life, by sins and vices he moves away from it and thereby causes spiritual decline in the soul. It also contributes to the destruction of greenness in nature and the increase in dryness (ariditas). Hildegard of Bingen recommends abandoning extreme anthropocentrism in the relation to the nature and obedience to God. Compared to the encyclical of Pope Francis Laudato Si’, Hildegard considers the cause of dryness and ecological damage not only ecological sins, but all sins, because human actions affect all things all things that are interconnected.
