Humanity will have consumed on 1 August all the resources that nature can renew in one year, according to the NGO Global Footprint Network.
Wednesday 1 st August will be the day "exceeded". The one where humanity has exhausted the resources that nature is able to renew in a year, according to the NGO Global Footprint Network.
It is "the date when we will have used more trees, water, fertile soils, and fish than what the Earth can provide us in a year to feed, house, move, and emit more than carbon that oceans and forests can absorb, "says Valérie Gramond of WWF, a Global Footprint Network partner.
"Today we need the equivalent of 1.7 Earth to meet our needs," says WWF.
Every year, this date when humanity lives "on credit" occurs more and more early. In 2017 it was August 3rd. In the early 1970s, December 29.

You can also calculate your personal ecological footprint on the Global Footprint Network website .

Total BS. I am sitting atop a gigantic supply of Natural Gas that can power America for hundreds of years.
Every earth day I dig a hole just to show her who’s boss.
The solution is to send all the leftist wackos to Mars.
Maybe I should print 2 or 3 new earths when I get my 3d printer.
Then I suggest the reporter of this horrible news and all other leftist @$$holes stop consuming IMMEDIATELY
By the way. All those who’ve been driving electric cars and (heh, heh) smart cars I’d like to thank you for allowing there to be enough gas to fuel my Ram 1500. THANKS Y’ALL!
Back in the 60s and 70s we were going to be out of everything and unable to breathe the air or drink the water by 2000...Same old liars, same old lies.
We’re all going to die, aren’t we?

Highly. Unlikely.
I guess we’ll have to hold our breath, eat nothing and use no water until Jan. 1st 2019.
All 7 billion of us. Piece of cake!
The earth keeps turning.
Earth First! We’ll log the other planets later.
They think Planet Earth is the size of a Cat’s Litter Box
Personally, I blame globull warming.
