Many people care about keeping their house clean. We always think of ways to improve our quality of our home. People care about what is happening in their house. Most of us would be offended if someone came into our homes and made a mess. In the film, Anthropocene, watching the Earth from outer space allowed us to stop, take a step back, look at ourselves, and realize that the Earth is our genuine home.<\/p>\n
Anthropocene, the term itself, is a reminder for the mess that we have artificially created in the Earth, which brought irreversible changes with growing dead zones. The already-started Anthropocene epoch proves that humans did not mind sacrificing parts of the Earth for our needs and wants. Humans decided to make the cheapest food possible to feed the growing population, and created new types of rocks\/minerals and chemicals to satisfy those immediate populations.<\/p>\n
In some respect, Anthropocene was unintentional; the focus was for the survival and to raise the quality of a human system by creating a food system. We simply did not see the connection between the food system to the ecosystem. Unfortunately, we discovered that humans played the biggest role in converting the nature into an artificial place, which perhaps gave birth to the term, Anthropocene. In a book called, Political Ecology<\/em>, Paul Robbins explains how the complexity of global ecology is mainly due to the constructed resources (political ecology) rather than naturally given (apolitical ecology) (Robbins 17).<\/p>\n When such concepts, like \u201cPolitical\u201d Ecology and Anthropocene, have reached the academia, I believe that it is the warning signal from the Earth, and we must consider it as a wakeup call. We must gain control of what we have modified for our own greed to stop ourselves from hitting the peak of the Anthropocene. We can\u2019t change the past, but we can change the future. Although, the effort must come from the entire globe, altogether; in fact, we are sharing one Earth.<\/p>\n Both the inside of the house that we want to keep clean and the land outside, they are a part of the Earth that we live in. We must realize that keeping the Earth clean and safe is same as keeping ourselves and our home clean. Don\u2019t make a mess. If we found out that we did, then it is time to clean up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Works Cited<\/p>\n Robbins, Paul. Political Ecology, Wiley, 2011.
