===Anthropocene=== | |||
Anthropocene discourse focusses on the significant impact of humans on the Earth and atmosphere emphasizing the central role of mankind in geology and ecology (Crutzen and Stoermer, 2000, Waters et al., 2016). For example, the planet’s ecosystem is not able to biodegrade the excess production of human-manufactured materials such as aluminium, concrete, and plastics (Jordan, 2011). Geological deposits from non-biodegradable substances produce a signature that is different from the earlier Holocene epoch and the decay-resistant human produced waste will inevitably leave identifiable fossil and geochemical records (Waters et al 2016). In addition to the environmental consequences to the biosphere from increased carbon emissions, both of which are becoming increasingly important issues (Buis and Ramsayer, 2015). | |||
