The word Anthropocene comes from the Greek terms for human and new. The Anthropocene is a geological approach which is about the significant human impact on the earth’s geology and ecosystems including climate change. The Anthropocene is distinguished as a new period either, after or within the Holocene, the current epoch, which began approximately 10,000 years ago with the end of the last glacial period.

We may be able to tackle this topic of Anthropocene through photography by capturing the man made objects such as plastic (e.g shopping bags) to create awareness of what will happen to the world if nothing is done about it. Additionally if people see what is happening to the planet visually it may create more of an impact to do something about it as well as give people more of a consciousness of those who decide to engage with it
