Eco-economy is an economic model that could help the sustainable development of terrestrial ecosystems. Its features include systematic, coordinated, circular, and so on. Ecological and economic thinking of Marx and Engels was formed in the19th century. It was elaborated by the profound reflection on the development of capitalist society. Ecological and economic thinking of Marx and Engels had profound fundamentals of philosophy, sociology, economics and ecology.The main contents of Marx and Engels’ecological economic thought included view of natural productive forces, view of ecological development and view of ecological technology. Marx reminds us in the development of social productive forces, to maintain the natural productivity. Not at the expense of the cost of natural productivity, one-sided play to the social productive forces, otherwise the development is not sustainable. View of ecological development of Marx and Engels warnings people to correct their position in nature and integrate social development and ecological development. In Marx, we can rely on science and technology to "re-processing" and "reuse" of various wastes. It is an effective means of reducing industrial and domestic waste. It is one possible way to reduce environmental pollution. In essence, the Marx’s though of using science and technology to waste recycling is using ecological science and technology to promote eco-economic development.Ecological and economic thinking of Marx and Engels have a profound inspiration and guidance. It can help to change the traditional mode of economic growth in China and solve the environmental problems currently. It provides a theoretical basis for the scientific development concept. It provides a theoretical guidance for the construction of ecological civilization. It points out the direction for the comprehensive development of man. We rely on Marx and Engels’ ecological and economic thought to guide Chinese eco-economy development. We should develop green productivity vigorously, transform traditional enterprises into green enterprises, develop ecological agriculture, promote eco-technology innovation and advocate green consumption.
