To Australia’s shame our ‘overshoot day’ was back on 23 March 2023. 
‘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. We maintain this deficit by liquidating stocks of ecological resources and accumulating waste, primarily carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Earth Overshoot Day is hosted and calculated by Global Footprint Network, an international research organization that provides decision-makers with a menu of tools to help the human economy operate within Earth’s ecological limits.’
Earth Overshoot Day reassures us that ‘the current trend is not our destiny’ and we can #movethedate
