Last Saturday, the 22nd of August, was Earth Overshoot Day 2020. It marked the day humanity consumed a year’s worth of the Earth's resources - more than what can be regenerated in a year. We give you the 411 on what this day is all about, and discuss what steps need to be taken, to #MoveTheDate back.
