It’s Earth Overshoot Day.
Humanity is currently using nature 1.7x faster than our planet’s ecosystems can regenerate. According to Mathis Wackernagel, chief executive and co-founder of Global Footprint Network:
Our economies are running a Ponzi scheme with our planet.
We are using the Earth’s future resources to operate in the present and digging ourselves deeper into ecological debt.Of course, minerals can't be regenerated.
