8 August 2016 will be marked as the earliest Overshoot day.
It is the day humans humans have exhausted annual supplies such as land, trees and fish, and outstripped Earth’s capacity to absorb greenhouse gases.
It is the first time it has arrived just 8 months into our year, demonstrating the fact that humans continue to live beyond their means.
We are essentially putting carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere than the forests and oceans can absorb, and catching fish and cutting down forests more quickly than nature can replenish them.
In essence we are in ecological debt and it is only going to get worse.
After all it was September in 2000 and now has gone as far back as early August in just 16 years.
We simply have to rethink how humans live now.
