Concept and details have been presented in different books and papers).

1998 – "Ecocivil" as a goal of the Sustainable Development. (The new concept specifies the necessity of combining an optimal proportion between the population size and growth, consumption culture (including the green fashioning), creation of new consumption culture, providing for the antimutagenic regulation of the resistance in existing ecological situation, and green economic development.
