August 8 is the new day of Earth overshoot
Earth Overshoot Day means the amount of nature we use from January 1 till August 8 is as much as the Earth can renew in the entire year. So it's as if by August 8, we have spent all the money we have for the entire year.
Globally, overshoot is slightly higher this year than last year by our estimates so far. The increase is slower than 10 to 15 years ago, but it is still an increase. Even if you decrease the margin, you cannot stay in overshoot for very long. (MTI)
