The Global Footprint Network, which calculates the date each year, said humans currently use 74% more than what the planet can remake.Mathis Wackernagel, CEO and founder of Global Footprint Network, told ABC News Radio to think of the resource deficit like a bank account.
The Global Footprint Network found that the total global ecological footprint increased by 6.6% compared to 2020, based on data from the International Energy Agency and the Global Carbon Project. “Last year, we had the lockdown. The lockdown changed behaviors instantaneously, quite radically, but just changed behaviors for that time,” Wackernagel said. “It didn't change the system. So we're back to where we were before in terms of resource demand.”
The date has since moved up five months, but the rate at which the date has moved up the calendar has decreased. In the 1970s, the day was moving up three days a year, now it moves less than one day a year on average over the past five years.
so we use 74% more then planet can remake. they why do we but down trees and kill forest for stuff like paper why not grow and use hemp to do that and leave the trees alone that alone would help a shit ton
Some of the things brought up in the arguably make it seem like there's nothing to do except keep using. If everyone going vegan buys us only 17 days clearly there's a bigger issue and going vegan doesn't matter at all.
You mean we WASTE that energy.
Solar power is the way to go
Hmm, this is probably fine
😲😲😲😲😲 ..... 😱
People need to stop eating meat. Stop having kids. Stop living in big houses. Stop driving cars. Together. If everyone does their part. We can do this. We can save the planet.
So. We have been set up to fail?
wow
We. Are. Fucked.
We're all going to die
Yaaaay! Humans beating the odds again! Murika!
