Abstract
Concerning the importance of the guarantee of right on the safe environment as a part of the solidarity rights subdivision, sometimes we face with the violation of this right by the governments themselves in neoliberal societies. Acting damaging environmental behaviours by governments and citizens in some societies, specifically in neoliberal societies, have been increased. Governments in these societies, to guarantee the profits of capitalism, may normalise the damaging behaviours. One of the results of this process is the violating of right on the safe environment. One of the fields which consider the effects of the culture-building of the damaging environmental behaviours, is the green cultural criminology as one of the branches of the critical criminology. The aforementioned criminology by merging cultural and green criminology has taken important steps in green studies. This research, using a descriptive-analysis method, has come to this conclusion that the medium which is at the disposal of the capitalism, by prescribing the consumer culture and the fashionism, have a very important role in the extension of these kinds of damaging behaviours. They play this process by environmental immorality. As a result, on the one hand, the green culture building and environmental teachings should be institutionalised on the citizens. This will lead to increase their environmental perception together with the guarantee of right on the safe environment.
