Today Wednesday 2nd August 2023 is #OverShoot day.
Today is the day that humans exceed the #Earths ability to regenerate resources - rest of the year humans are on borrowed time. What date is your country's Overshoot day?

Humanity is gobbling up global #resources at an unsustainable rate.
A rough calculation indicates that - at the current rate of resource use - we need 1.75x #earths.
My colleague Ali Rae and I have been working on a video series called 'All Hail The Planet'.
In episode 3, the focus is on the death spiral of out-of-control resource use we're all trapped in.
We #extract, we #burn, we purchase with a fervour that’s unsustainable.

Maybe they exist as a #warmBranklet, "Remember these productions, these are the fruits of the #consumerist #westernSociety we created. Don't you still #love them!?"
"Don't you still love these #celebrities we #elevated, just for your #entertainment while we were out pilaging the #earths resources under the pretense of #humanitarian aide?"
