This study refers to a qualitative exploratory research on the impact and potential of the blog, whose theme is environmental education. This research proposes to investigate areas of "cyberspace" that increasingly favors the responsiveness that the other places would not be viable. These virtual spaces, blogs, initially created as a resource of support among journalists and as personal diary, have sho n a remarkable resource to discuss matters of collective interest and mobilization, moreover, has proved to be a very appropriate for the learning and knowledge dissemination.
