The application of symmetry principles in environmental studies is considered. The relationship between the properties of space symmetry and time is discussed. The history of science shows that symmetry allows to explain many phenomena and predict the existence of new properties of the Nature. Therefore, the principal difference between symmetry of crystalline polyhedron and symmetry of living organism should be considered. In the case we deal with atomic structure of solid substance, in the second case we deal with achieving to organization of living substance iso-lated and separately existing in an alien and inert biosphere.
