Earth Overshoot Day – 2021

29 July marks the day that humanity is officially in debt to our planet – Earth Overshoot Day.

With five months still to go in 2021, we’ve already used up our quota of ecological resources that our planet can produce in one year. 

Electric vehicles and renewable energy always make the headlines when it comes to how to do your bit to live more sustainably, but the damage done by everything we consume and throw away is not always so obvious. 

Zero Waste Scotland have produced a suite of resources to promote Earth Overshoot Day with a clear message: Overconsumption is killing the planet.
