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:
