But this was due to the environmental return, the degradation of ecosystems, the loss of biodiversity, the biological holocaust and the large emission of greenhouse gases (GHG).Undoubtedly, humanity has multiplied and improved its standard of life in the Anthropocene. But never has a species destroyed so many other species and consumed so many natural resources in such a short time, as well as generating garbage, pollution and a trail of environmental damage and loss.The International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IBBP) shows that since the end of World War II there has been a "major acceleration" of social and economic development worldwide that is leading to a growing scarcity of natural resources and the serious depletion of the environment. The IGBP has produced a series of graphs that illustrate how economic growth has boosted the appetite for natural resources and have grown exponentially since 1950. The charts in greater detail can be seen at the link for reference.All this acceleration of human domination and exploitation of nature has led to the deforestation of forests to use hardwoods, to make charcoal and to expand agricultural and livestock activities. It dammed rivers, drained swamps, altered the natural landscape. The aquifers are being used at a rate higher than the recharge capacity. Damaged the soils, widened the desert areas and generated green deserts that cause deforestation. The system of production and consumption that satisfies the egoistic desire to own goods and services increasingly generates garbage, solid waste and pollution. Landfills are a source of disease spread and environmental damage. The oceans tend to have more polluting plastics than fish. Tens of thousands of species have disappeared and hundreds of thousands are at risk of extinction. In order to maintain economic growth, the earth has been revolved to extract ores, to search for oil in the subsoil and to other uses that emit greenhouse gases that change the chemistry of the atmosphere, causing global warming and acidification of soils and water, In addition to rising sea levels, which threatens billions of people living or dependent on coastal areas, while depleting marine life.Humans are producing and consuming resources at a geologically unprecedented rate - a rate that must be maintained to continue at the high level and complexity of the current civilization (based on fossil fuels). This high consumption has formed a 'new pattern' in the global energy flux of the planet, which grows with population growth (as shown below, Earth's Future, 2016) and is incompatible with entropic metabolic flux.The report "Global Material Flows and Resource Productivity" (UNEP, July 2016) points out that the extraction of global natural resources has increased three times in the last 40 years. The amount of raw materials uprooted from nature rose from 22 billion tons in 1970 to 70 billion tons in 2010, with the richest countries consuming twice as much as the world average. The increase in the use of global materials accelerated rapidly in the 2000s with the growth of emerging economies, especially with China's growth undergoing major industrial and urban transformations that demanded an enormous amount of raw materials, iron, steel,
