« In 10 months, humanity has exhausted nature’s budget for the year »

Even if global warming is a big issue, there are other ecological problems in the world like ecological overshoot.

The 27^th September is the earth overshoot day. This means that for the rest of the year we’re living on credit and will have to draw from the earth’s non-regenerative resources
