Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. This deficit arises from liquidating stocks of ecological resources and accumulating waste, primarily carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

On a global level, Earth Overshoot Day in 2024 is expected to be around August 1.

A country’s overshoot day is the date on which Earth Overshoot Day would fall if all of humanity consumed like the people in that country. The chart above shows specific dates of overshoot for several dozen major countries.

@breadandcircuses this really isn't your problem, but if anyone happens to know why this post is getting matched by this filter configuration, I'll owe you a solid thank you. I have no clue how this could be matching, and I almost missed this post because of it.
