it is going to be hard to maintain it. it s also worth remembering that different countries contribute very differently to the overall picture, based on how much they consume and pollute, and how many people live there. if the global average was like qatar, which has a tiny population but produces huge amounts of oil and gas, 0vershoot day would have happened as early as february. in the uk, it would have been may, and, indonesia, not until december. the average in many poorer countries of course would mean no overshoot at all. but we re already seeing the effects of the overuse of resources in terms of deforestation or drought, for example, and, of course, waste or pollution in terms of those greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere. so, what are we doing about it? we are an ingenious species. we can rethink the way we consume and consume more efficiently. we have got technology and we now know what is happening, so we can rethink our consumption and everything that we use, in terms o
