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.

So how to reverse the trend? The site of the "day of overcoming" presents some solutions: review the way cities are thought, develop and focus on green energy, fight against food waste and over-consumption of meat, limit population growth.
You can also calculate your personal ecological footprint on the Global Footprint Network website .

It’s taken us THAT long???? Let’s get with it, people. I want to see this no later than June 1 next year.
Chop chop!
In before the Soylent Green post.
Okay, let’s see now, how many years of stockpiled reserves does mommy erf have left now?
No that's impossible. China already consumed every last bit of grain, and available pig, cow and chicken on Earth in 2006, when the world hunger riots and WWIII started. Don't you remember? Its what Lester Brown predicted.
“Tax Freedom Day” was April 19th this year. (All the days prior went to just paying the average taxes).
So now that I’m actually making money for myself - there’s nothing left to buy!
Where’s the “Soylent Green...Now With More Girls!!” post?
;^)
...13 year old boys seeing if they can get anyone to swallow their baloney.
haha haha
go figure. 2 world wars, dozens of revoltions, endless regional conflicts related to weather and power, and in 1970 we were at 1 day. Now, although there are still regional conflicts, the world is at peace, people are healthier and thriving, and magically we’re at 150 days.
WWF appears to be advocating genocide. However, we can avoid that by donating more money to the psychological terrorists NGO GFN and WWF so they can continue to beat us about the head with nonsensical graphs and propaganda.
Remember PEAK OIL! PEAK OIL! WE ALL GONNA DIE! Every time I bought a new automobile in the 1970s-2002 I worried how I would fuel it when the oil ran out.
Still waiting.
What do I care? Chicken Littles since the early 1970s have been telling me that I and everyone else would be dead before the year 2000 because of the ‘new ice age’, the population bomb, and running out of fossil fuels.
YAWN..
“At any given time, the capacity of human ingenuity is the missing ingredient in all the prognosticators crystal balls.”
Man, the mad ape that refuses to play by the rules: no teeth or talons, spears and knives, no hair - clothes and fire, cannot fly? - airplanes, to far? telecommunications.
That’s why I’m planning to hurry up and finish my strip mining tomorrow.
so nature renews coal, oil and gas... guess that whole peak oil thing is just a hoax
This is not bad advice. If everyone who is concerned about population explosion executed themselves in the name of saving the planet the problem would be solved. It is only their moral cowardice and failure to live up to their own beliefs that permit the very abuse they loudly decry. If the tire liberal cabal off itself we would drive the resources, pollution back 200 years.
Darn it...I used my shares of the resources for 2018? I guess I will see if it’s okay to see if my resources shares from 1960 I could use for the rest of this year...
