August 2, 2023: World Ecological Debt Day (Earth Overshoot Day) - The world used up its "ecological budget" for 2023 on this day, exhausting the natural resources that the earth’s ecosystem can regenerate in a calendar year. From today until the end of the year, we are “borrowing” from 2024 and, unless in 2024 we cut consumption enough to compensate for our debt so far, we are burning the resources which belong to future generations (i.e. we are stealing from people who are not even born yet). {The day is calculated using the formula "[Available World Biocapacity (measured in global hectares) / World Ecological Footprint (measured in global hectares)] x 365". The world first went into "ecological debt" in 1980. In the past years, this day fell on Aug. 21 (2010), Sept. 27 (2011), Aug. 22 (2012), Aug. 20 (2013), Aug. 19 (2014), Aug. 13 (2015), Aug. 8 (2016), Aug. 2 (2017), Aug. 1 (2018), July 29 (2019), Aug. 22 (2020), July 29 (2021), and July 28 (2022) respectively.} Please mind your ecological footprint (EF) and help to save our planet.
