[Ecological Transgression Day Arrives Ahead of Schedule] Humans can use up the Earth's annual natural resources in just 7 months.

[Earth Overshoot Day Arrives Early] Humans Use Up Earth's Annual Natural Resources in Just 7 Months. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) France states that the increasingly earlier "Earth Overshoot Day" reflects humanity's greed and predatory nature towards natural resources. According to calculations by the non-governmental organization Global Footprint Network (GFN), humanity used up the Earth's 2019 natural resource quota on July 29th, several days earlier than August 1st last year. For the next five months, people will have to live within a limited resource "quota." According to reports from French media outlet Le Monde and other foreign media, the first recorded "Earth Overshoot Day" (EOD), also known as "Ecological Debt Day," was December 29th in 1970, fell on August 1st last year (2018), and this year it arrived three days earlier on July 29th, setting a new record for the earliest EOD. Earth Overshoot Day, or Ecological Debt Day, aims to calculate the date each year when Earth's ecological resources reach a deficit. Since 1970, population growth and average demand have both accelerated the rate at which Earth's resources are consumed, exceeding their regeneration rate. Since then, the rate of consumption has accelerated annually. In 1988, Ecological Debt Day occurred on October 15th. In 1998, it fell on September 30th, in 2008 on August 15th, and in 2018 it was moved to August 1st. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF), in partnership with the Global Footprint Network, stated that the increasingly earlier "Ecological Overshoot Day" unexpectedly reflects humanity's greed and predatory nature towards natural resources. This year, as of July 29th, humanity has already used up the amount of trees, water, land, and fish that would sustain us for a year, and the carbon emissions released have already exceeded the capacity of the oceans and forests to bear and absorb them. Since July 29th, the rate at which humans consume natural resources has been 1.75 times faster than the rate at which the Earth's ecosystem can regenerate and become usable within the same year. This means that humans would need to consume the equivalent of 1.75 times the Earth's natural resources annually just to break even. All of this is due to excessive consumption of fish and deforestation for expanding farmland. (Source: Taiwan English News, 2019/07/29)
