Anthropocene

The Anthropocene is a proposed geological epoch that highlights the significant impact of human activities on Earth's ecosystems and geology. It suggests that humans are now a dominant force shaping the planet, altering climates, biodiversity, and landscapes through actions like industrialization, urbanization, and deforestation. This term emphasizes that our choices have far-reaching consequences for the environment, including climate change and species extinction. Recognizing the Anthropocene encourages us to reflect on our responsibility for the planet's future and to consider sustainable practices to mitigate our impact.
