Earth Overshoot Day

Earth Overshoot Day is when people around the world have used up all the resources that the Earth can give in one year. People use resources like food, water, electricity, raw materials, and more to make the things they need in order to survive and live comfortable lives. Unfortunately, people are using more of these resources than the planet can provide each year, so Earth Overshoot Day marks the day when the world has used up its yearly resources. On this day, people have to start using resources from the next year, which means there won't be enough resources for everyone.
