Today marks Earth Overshoot Day 2024 Every year, humanity reaches a critical milestone known as Earth Overshoot Day, the date when our total demand for ecological resources exceeds what our planet can regenerate in that year.  In other words, in the past 7 months, we have used all the resources that take Earth 12 months to renew. Today, August 1st, marks Earth Overshoot Day 2024. Earth Overshoot Day is calculated by the Global Footprint Network and this year’s Earth Overshoot Day falls on August 1. The main purpose is to raise awareness and share knowledge on the impact of our lives on the planet. It forces us to think about our behaviour, consumption patterns, and ways to strive for a more sustainable future. Did you know that if all the people around the world mirrored the consumption patterns of the European Union, we would have exhausted the planet’s natural resources available for the year already by May 3rd this year? So what can we do? The Global Footprint Network invites you to help #movethedate, to be part of the solution and push Earth Overshoot Day back further into the year. By moving further towards the use of renewable energy, we can move the date by 26 days. Generating 75% of electricity from sustainable sources, such as solar, would push Earth Overshoot Day back significantly. So, today is a perfect day to go solar and opt for clean, renewable energy solutions. Let’s make every day count. Interested to learn more about this day?
