In the Anthropocene, the significant and pervasive human impact on Earth's ecosystems is manifested in myriad ways, with the ever-increasing presence of plastic pollution being a prime example. This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the ubiquitous problem of marine plastic pollution in the Anthropocene, providing a vital lexicon for all stakeholders. This linguistic toolkit enables effective communication and mutual understanding among scientists, policymakers, activists, and the general public, fostering tailored and targeted approaches to address the various facets of plastic pollution. It further underscores the profound human impact on the environment to the extent that our plastic litter might symbolize the inception of a new geological epoch. However, these classifications, while mirroring our role in shaping the Earth, do not mitigate the urgent need to address plastic pollution. Rather, they serve as an urgent call to action, emphasizing the power we possess to solve the problem we have created. As we traverse this era full with plastic, our responsibility is to leverage this lexicon not only to comprehend the extent of the damage caused but also to ignite innovative solutions and foster resilience. Regardless of the nomenclature assigned to our era, our duty to safeguard the planet remains paramount.
