Today, 29 July 2019 is Earth Overshoot Day (EOD), previously known as Ecological Debt Day, the date on which humanity’s resource consumption for the year will exceed what the Earth can regenerate.
By midnight, humanity’s allotment of natural resources for 2019 will be all used up.
Each year, the human population grows and we keep increasing this deficit by consuming the Earthβs natural capital and accumulating waste, primarily carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Last yearβs Earth Overshoot Day was 1 August, three days later than this yearβs. Over the past 20 years, Earth Overshoot Day has moved up three months.
C’est dramatique.

So we shoot and shoot and shoot. Whatβs left over of this world. What is the freedom of a world lost in consumption.
And everyday we look at the sky, we breath in some air, we just stay happy, the earth in despair.

Reblogged this on It Starts With You and commented:
This publication was very interesting and informational about the waste that we as a country go through each year. It is a very scary and touchy subject but people need to face the music when it comes to how much waste we actually go through. Hopefully these terrifying statistics will scare people into living the way we are supposed too.
