Earth overshoot day

🌍 It’s a striking reminder that humanity has used up nature’s budget for the year. We’re consuming resources faster than the planet can regenerate annually. 🌿 This means we are now operating in an ecological deficit, depleting local resources and releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 🌡️ #EcoFriendly #GreenLiving . 👍 Follow @yourplanet.earth for more 🙏 Turn on notifications for future updates

For the first time in years, Earth Overshoot Day has been pushed to a later date after the pandemic slowed runaway overconsumption and delayed the date by about a month. Nevertheless, as of today, we are still in debt with the planet for the rest of the year😡. Scientists in fact estimate that humanity is using 60% more than can be renewed. That is the equivalent of 1.6 planets🌎.

Earth Overshoot Day, August 2, previously known as Ecological Debt Day, is the date on which humanity’s resource consumption for the year exceeds Earth’s capacity to regenerate those resources that year. Not really anything to celebrate, is it?

Also, a pair of victories for oil and gas that could be short-lived

IT’S NOT TOO LATE STOP IT

So beautiful.

The Ecological Footprint measures how fast we consume resources and generate waste compared to how fast nature can absorb our waste and generate resources.
