EARTH Overshoot Day (EOD) 2021, the date this year when humans would have used up the amount of resources that can be renewed by planet Earth in a year, came and went on July 29. It was nearly a month earlier than the date in 2020.
The Covid-19 pandemic had pushed EOD last year to Aug 2020, but it only took less than a year for consumption and emissions to resume as countries went back to business as usual.
