Today is Earth overshoot day – the day in the calendar when the world’s population has consumed one whole year’s worth of the Earth’s renewable resources and services (eg soil fertility for crops, clean water, fish stocks, the delicate balance of gases in the atmosphere, etc).
Our current patterns of consumption are unsustainable – they are also inequitable for whilst countries like the UK have vastly consumed more than is sustainable, part of our consumption has been at the expense of poorer nations who do not even get the chance to consume their fair share of the Earth’s resources and services,
From here on we are eating into wellbeing of future generations.
