TODAY (July 29) is Earth Overshoot Day (EOD) for 2021. EOD marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year.
If we think of planet Earth as a fixed deposit in the bank, and ecological resources and ecosystem services as the annual interest on that deposit, EOD is the day when the interest is used up.
