Earth Overshoot Day !!!

-

Today i am here with a very important topic which i need to discuss with you all which is EARTH OVERSHOOT DAY .

We all are aware that we humans are special creatures on this earth because among all creatures only we can develop our self and surrounding to extreme levels. But we are also aware about the consequences of this development which are air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution and many other factors.

In other words, we humans in ease of developing ourselves are destroying our precious mother earth.We are eating the earth and using it to its extreme levels and result to it is, on 1st August this year we have used all the resources of earth in this year.It means humans have already used all the natural resources the earth can produce this year.

The Earth overshoot day is the day every year beyond which the planet's limited resources will be used unsustainably for the rest of the year.

Number of planets needed if we will live like:-

Qataris are using earth's resources so destructively that if whole world start using like them than we will use 9.3 earths every year which is too extreme.
On this point if everyone on Earth will live like Indians than we will require only 0.67 earth every year.

On considering the world, we all use 1.7 earths every year. It means we are exploiting double the amount. We are damaging 2 times the damage which earth that withdraw per year.

In 1970, the overshot date was December 29;in 2018 it was august 1.


 Its all about the ecological footprint and let us now know that how it's calculated:

On knowing this, i was disheartened that we humans are going in the path of destruction.
I was aware that we are on the path of destruction but i was not aware of the pace by which we are moving towards disaster. I felt it really important to share it with you .

How do they measure distance in space ??

One night i was surfing on my mobile and i came to know that nearest galaxy to us is  Andromeda Galaxy which is about 2.5 million light years away from us. After reading it i was amazed and one question pooped up in my mind that  How do scientists measure distance between objects in space ?? First of all let us understand that distance in space is measured with reference to light i.e. in light years. One light year is the distance which light travels in one year which is approx 10 trillion km (9,500,000,000,000 km) which is so huge. 1.How do we measure distance with light ?? We measure distance by using time taken by light to reach at an object and multiplied that time with speed of light.For example Suppose light takes 2 hours to reach from one object to another. So the distance= speed*time                         = 1,080,000,000km/hr * 2hr                         = 2,160,000,000 km 2.But nearest galaxy is 2.3 million light years away, so do we need to wait 2.3

Do you want to live for 80-90 years ?? I wish i can and many of you will also.And if someone of you don't want to live long than you must rethink and rediscover your aim and ambition. So, its clear that we all want to live long but the thing really matters is that are we trying to do so ?? Some of you may say YES, you might be exercising to keep your body young and you must be doing it but you are doing so because you know that it is beneficial.
