Something important happened on 22 Aug 2020.

In 2019 it happened on 29 July

In 2010 it happened on 7th Aug

In 2000 it happened on 23rd September

In 1990 it happened on 11th October

In 1980 it happened on 4th November

In 1970 it happened on 29 Dec

On these days each year we humans used up more resources of this earth that the earth can renew each year. In other words by 22 Aug we have used up the amount of resources that the earth can renew in a year. To meet the human requirement of resources in a year the earth will take 1.6 years to renew it.

This year due to pandemic it came about 3 weeks late.

This is indeed an alarming situation as earth is not able to sustain the increasing requirements of mankind. We are overdrawing resources at a faster rate than what the earth can fill up.

We can very well understand the consequences of it in the long run.

It is called the ‘Earth overshoot day

The data in the picture is also interesting

It will continue this way until one day it will give up and say to humans 'get lost now'. At least it wont happen in our life time, that is why no one is bothered.
