Earth Overshoot Day comes early this year
Humanity has overdrawn the planet’s annual budget of resources. Earth Overshoot Day (EOD) this year falls on 1 August, indicating the tipping point where a year’s worth of resources has been consumed.EOD is a symbolic date introduced by the Global Footprint Network (GFN) to measure resource consumption against Earth’s biocapacity, the planet’s capacity to renew or regenerate them.
