Counting on … day 140

2nd August 2024

The Earth Overshoot Day website talks about the ‘power of possibility’ and hosts examples of many and various ways in which we could reduce our annual overshoot and so organise our care and use of resources that we could both maintain and enhance the world’s fruitfulness. 

One area is food. 

If we – prevent food loss and waste 

          – opt for plant-based foods

          – adopt agroecological and regenerative practices

we could, they suggest, shift Earth Overshoot Day by 32 days.
