Anthropocene
Humans have only been on earth for 200,000 years, yet our effect on the globe has been so tremendous that experts all across the world are pushing for our era in Earth's history to be dubbed the "Anthropocene" - the "Age of Humans." The changes we are now implementing have taken a tremendous toll on the natural world around us. It's critical that people recognize the significance of what we're doing. Please help spread the news.
It has now been clearly explained that the earth passing through these stages is totally natural, given that it has happened 5 times many millions of years before, except that this time it is sudden. Species are becoming extinct 100 times quicker than they would have been without human intervention. The creatures are struggling to adapt, and as a result, they are becoming extinct. Think of the miserable creatures skinned for our advantage and pleasure the next time you consider purchasing the most costly bag on the market at the moment, "Hermes."
Only five times in our planet's history have so many species and so much biodiversity been lost in such a short period of time. The fifth was the extinction of the dinosaurs. That is why scientists and conservationists refer to the current situation as the "sixth mass extinction." Some have even referred to today's loss of biodiversity as "biological annihilation."
There were less than a billion people on the planet two hundred years ago. There are 7.8 billion people on the planet now, and our population is continually expanding. According to the United Nations, unless we take action, there will be 30% more of us by 2050, and 11 billion by 2100.
Every one of us makes demands on our planet—demands that have resulted in the changes that jeopardize us and the natural environment on which we rely.
Soon, all creatures will cease to exist, and we will be the cause of their extinction.
Who or what is the main cause of this?
The main cause of the mass extinction that is happening in the present time is primarily because of us humans.
“Looking across the world at the present time it is obvious to anybody at all who has even the slightest bit of biological knowledge that human numbers are already out of balance.”
-Prof Aubrey Manning, zoologist
How are we able to take action in this matter?
Simply spreading this information to as many people as possible can be extremely beneficial.
We can take steps such as buying less, reusing and recycling more, transitioning to a plant-based diet, and making sure that what we do use and consume is as sustainable as possible.
Above all, we have the option of having smaller families.
As long as our population continues to grow, the value of any other action we take risks being canceled out by the demands and needs of new people joining the population.
Global population growth that is unsustainable is not unavoidable. According to UN projections, if we start taking action now, we can put an end to it and start reducing our numbers to a more sustainable level within the next few decades.
Complaining of wishing the world was a better place is like complaining about why the house is so messy and actually doing nothing to make it any better, instead, we just wait for someone to clean up the mess and when it's done we don't make any effort to maintaining the cleanliness. The chance of making the world a better place for us all varies directly to the number of people who wish to make a contribution to making the world a better place
(just me making use of the lesson we had in math😂)
As a human being, I respectfully request that you share this information in order to raise awareness of what is now taking place. We need mother nature. Mother Nature doesn't need us.
I guess that wraps it up for today,
Hope you guys have a great day ahead!
Peace out✌️

Wow! It's good to know that someone as young as you is passionate about global issues such as this. 😍 I agree that we all need to do our part. If you're interested to go the extra mile, you can download ACT NOW, an app by the United Nations that will help you develop habits for a sustainable future. I am using it myself to keep track of small yet helpful actions such as using shampoo bars, taking a 5-minute shower, walking instead of riding a car, and so many more. 😊
Thank youuu🥰
This is the first time I've heard of this app. I'm glad that I found it all thanks to you! Thank you very much. I've already downloaded the app, thanks again😁❤️
No worries. I'm teaching a research subject called Global Perspectives and Research, and that's how I came across the app. We were also talking about climate change, and a group of students mentioned it in their presentation. 😊
Thanks for this ms @ate.eping I just downloaded ACT NOW and I'm excited to do more for the environment😻😊
Yey! Good to know that, Ms. Jong. Yes, makalingaw bya mag-click-click ba while developing the habits bisan as simple as turning off the lights lang gud. My favorite is using shampoo and conditioner bars. I swear by them jud. My hair is better pa jud. 😍

Truly, overpopulation is unsustainable for it only leads to further depletion of our natural resources. As humans,we are stewards of this planet and we must take responsibility for taking care of it. Thank you fot sharing this 🤗 such an eye opener.
More population bring more progress and solution to problems that where not there before...🤔 paradigm.
Thanks for stopping by, Ms.Era.
I'm glad I was able to contribute to the dissemination of this information😊

Such a great kid to have a passion for spreading global awareness! 😍 Tho, humans are coined as the learning animals; it seems that our actions contradict that. We may be on the top of the food chain, or we may be the only species with the characteristic to have a moral compass, super greedy pa rin talaga mostly ng mga tao. T^T A simple share goes along the way, glad that as early as your age, you're taking action already! 💕
You're welcomeeeeee! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
These are good points and good advocacy, but these are idealistic. It is not a sustainable goal to advocate people to have a lifestyle more on plat-based diet. It is quite unrealistic. If we look into the data, carbon emission from farmland are also quite high. Carbon emission form our oceans is also high. Natures deterioration is caused not only by our activities, but the natural order of things.
Can we do something about it? Yes. We can find way to make our wastes and carbon dioxide to use. We don't need sustainability. What we really need is a means to regenerative ideology rather than sustainability. We need regenerative concept to combat our pressing issues. We need to strike a balance between progress and nature. It isn't about more inclination towards one, but a goal to find optimal balance between constraints.
Nonetheless, the blog is a worth read. !discovery 15
