earth overshoot day

#EarthOvershootDay represents that day in the calendar beyond which we live on borrowed resources. While as families we work hard to leave something of human value for our children, why are we stripping earth of resources that were meant for them?

Today, we finish using up the resources that were meant to last us the year.  In 2021, this fell on the 29th of July. Earth Overshoot Day is a reminder that our demands of earth far exceed what earth can re-generate.
