Earth Overshoot Day

Earth Overshoot Day is a symbolic day that marks the point in the year when humanity's demand for ecological resources and services exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year.

It is calculated by the Global Footprint Network, an international research organization that works to end ecological overshoot. The day is intended to raise awareness about the impact of human consumption on the planet and to promote action to reduce the ecological footprint of human activity.
