The Anthropocene is upon us. This statement is inevitable, but what are we going to do about it? And, an even better question: Why haven’t we already done anything about it? What is it that keeps humanity from confronting this new epoch with action? What can motivate and drive individuals, communities, and, ultimately, the entire human population to do something about their lives in the Anthropocene? What is a driving factor that can stimulate change in a lifestyle so comfortable?
Through readings, research, and observation, I hope to answer these questions. I hope that my blog posts provide insight into the human mind and stimulate thought, but, even more so, that they convince readers to see the Anthropocene as an issue that will have major consequences if not taken seriously and acted upon. If homo sapiens are to survive in this new era of our own creation, we must see that our current ways of life must be changed.
