Earth Overshoot Day
Have you heard of it?

You may have seen a post or two on social media telling you that today is Earth Overshoot Day, and you may well be wondering what on earth that is!
Which is a great question.

Here's the official definition:
"Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year."

Any clearer?
Me neither.

Tune in as I explain a little more, about what Earth Overshoot Day is, why it matters, and what we can do about it.

Enjoy!
