Anthropocene comes from the Greek word that means “human.” It refers to how human beings have created an immense impact on the biosphere or on the life forms in the planet, which include both advantages and disadvantages. Among the positive impact of the Anthropocene include lifting millions of people from poverty by giving them more jobs as a result of economic progress and industrialization and accessing other forms of energy such as solar, nuclear, or coal that power technologies and even furthers progress.
