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

Future
Future’ reminds us that what we do now does have an impact on future generations (both of humans and of flora and fauna). It also can prompt us to envisage – to dream – what a better future could look like. For some organisations imagining that better future is part of their remit. The United Nations has its 17 sustainability goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals), and the Earth Overshoot Day organisation has its ‘Power of Possibility’ vision (https://www.overshootday.org/)
