According to the Global Footprint Network, the earth has reached its ecological limits for this year – as early as August 1st in 2024. Today marks the so-called Earth Overload Day; the day that humanity used up its annual supply of natural resources and now lives on debt. Ecosystems cannot compensate for the energy of the first seven months of the year. So humanity lives as if it has 1.7 Earths in its hands. So the date is one day earlier than last year. The Global Footprint Network calculates Earth Day every year. According to him, human beings need a whole year to renew the natural resources that have been consumed since the beginning of the year.
