| Descripción: | The debate on the Anthropocene as a new geochronological unit is giving rise, marked by the acceleration of the impacts of human activity on the planet, from a perspective that promotes reflection and participation in actions to deal with the enormous risks and environmental challenges, generators of great uncertainty about the future of humanity and its common home: the Earth. Rather than showing agreement or not with this new geochronological interval, it is intended to stoke personal inquiry into the environmental impacts of homo sapiens, to realize that the dominant development styles, technological progress, population growth and the capacity achieved to impact on global environmental and ecosystem ties, have made it a force capable of putting the balance of the world in crisis. Faced with such a complex global situation, along with many other political, technological, economic and socio-cultural solutions, the importance of educating a new environmental culture is insisted on and a viable procedure is proposed for the self-assessment of said culture, conceived as an act of critical reflection and self-knowledge, projected towards the improvement of the person and his/her relationship with the environment in which he/she lives. |
