🌍 Hello, Bluesky! We’re Global Footprint Network. We track humanity’s demand on nature versus what Earth can regenerate. You might know us from #EarthOvershootDay — the date when we’ve used up nature’s budget for the year. Spoiler: It’s always way too early.

By this Thursday, 24 July, humanity will have used more from nature than Earth can regenerate in a year. That means we’re living as if we had 1.8 planets & pushing well past nature’s limits.

In recognition of #WorldPopulationDay, we’re taking a closer look at one of the key solutions in our Power of Possibility resource: population.
Is it okay to talk about population? We think it’s essential to #EndOvershoot.
