The present research intents at reviewing the environmental movement within an unfinished modernity, studying the peculiarities of the phenomenon and the incorporation of everyday life in the diffusion of environmental issues. The proposal is to discuss the history of environmentalism in this socio-historical context, to then understand the relevance and possibilities in the communicative processes and then to proceed with specific examples that can illustrate the relationship of the environmental movement with everyday life in a society in which the postmodern condition highlights a still unfinished modernity, which deserves an attention.

The Judiciary also has the basic duty of protecting the environment. Starting from this premise and using the inductive method, the article discusses the legitimacy of judicial intervention in the implementation of the fundamental ecological duties that are constitutionally assigned to Public Administration. The article is justified due to the lack of specific studies relating the judicial control of public policies with environmental issues, the increasing judicialization of environmental disputes and the strong controversy this issue still raises. It concludes that the Judiciary should be an institutional partner in the task of implementing environmental policies and that its active intervention is legitimate in case of omission by government agencies or officials.
