The author begins from the Carta of Bologna on Food Waste, in order to connect into the great themes in the Encyclical Laudato si’ on the environmental problem underlying the wider human ecological issues. Thus, several characters, which stigmatize the contemporary crisis aimed at undermining and disfiguring “the house we inhabit”, are identified. Also brought into focus are several objectives, suggested in the Encyclical, against institutional solutions that do not involve personal responsibility, but are dictated by predatory consumerism or by the practice of the technocratic paradigm. These are more adapted to manipulate and enjoy reality rather than to educate and improve things for the common good. Key words: environment, ecology, consumerism, technocratic paradigm, common good.
