Earth Overshoot Day

August 19 is Earth Overshoot Day 2014, marking the date when humanity has exhausted nature’s budget for the year. For the rest of the year, we will maintain our ecological deficit by drawing down local resource stocks and accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We will be operating in overshoot.

Earth Overshoot Day is the annual marker of when we begin living beyond our means in a given year. While only a rough estimate of time and resource trends, Earth Overshoot Day is as close as science can be to measuring the gap between our demand for ecological resources and services, and how much the planet can provide.

Heute ist Welterschöpfungstag. Das heißt: Ab heute nehmen wir mehr von unserem Planeten, als eigentlich vorhanden ist.  Wir alle haben es in der Hand, unseren Planeten nicht weiter auszubeuten. Es gibt tausend Möglichkeiten! Wenn wir es nicht tun, wer dann?

Today marks the date we’ve used the planet’s “nature’s resource” budget for the entire year. Humanity is currently using natural resources faster than the Earth can replenish them.

Overshoot Day is an indication that now is the time to make a change. Small actions can make a big difference. We each play an important part when in comes to living within our ecological limits to help reverse the trend: http://wwf.to/oShoot2013
