Age of Anthropocene. it's the geological epic dating from significant human impact on earth's geology and ecosystems including the atmosphere.


The age of humans has negatively affected climate, geology, land reshaping and species diversity. Is it time for our extinction, have we done so much bad that we cannot redeem ourselves to the Earth, our mother? Have we as humans done any good for our world?


Well, likely no, look at the planetary effects, La Niña and El Niño. Floods and fires caused by the mean rise of ocean and land temperatures. Carbon tetrafluorides floated up and created holes in the ozone layer. These gases propelled what are essential liquids:  hairspray, shaving cream, whipped cream and spray paints. Hardly life critical! 


But the effects include increased sunburns and increased skin cancers, caused the melting of the polar caps and the bleaching, hence killing of the corals of the Great Barrier Reef. 


To redeem our collective negative actions we must undo the effects of our blasphemy against Mother earth. Not by words but by action.


We must restore Earth's life abundance.

Imagine if we could do that!


Should we do what Marx described as anti-thesis in his analysis? I think we ought to do so. He defined class struggles between the proletariat and the bourgeois—the capitalist class against the working class. Applied to humans, we need an effort to repair the Earth and all of its beings, then we must generate unbeknownst to time, a better option since we can never undo what we've done or go backwards in time.


Our aim could be to integrate our error outcomes to prevent further damage and to upcycle our errors to clean up and fix the problems we've created which will continue infinitely until we modify our needs downward or destroy the home of all living things.
