Humans used 1 year's worth of Earth's resources in 7 months: Study
August 1 will mark the day humanity's annual demand for natural resources will exceed what the planet can provide for the year, a date that arrived two days sooner than last year, according to the Global Footprint Network. The day is marked as Earth Overshoot Day, which has moved up from late September in 1997 to August 1 in 2018.
