Today, August 1, is Earth Overshoot Day—the day in which all of humanity has used more from nature than it can produce in the entire year. In 1969, Earth Overshoot Day occurred right around the new year, nearly hitting the mark for sustainable usage of natural resources. However, since 2010, humanity has used approximately 1.7 Earths worth of resources with Earth Overshoot Day occurring at the beginning of August.
