Alarm as Earth hits 'Overshoot Day' Thursday: NGOs

Why not encourage people to grow their own food like the old days so they don't have to rely on global supply chains?

If you are talking about self-sufficiency then please share your plan to give everyone 5 acres of land on which to achieve this.

Alternatively, if you're suggesting a very much scaled back plan then those who are able to do so, and have the means to do so, should be encouraged but city dwellers are going to have problems with this. Growing vegetables instead of flowers would be a start, lettuces in window boxes etc.

The "old days" are never coming back unless and until they are forced upon us by plague and pestilence or nuclear war maybe. Perhaps the only survivors in the future will be the "preppers", who knows.

Having a big chip on your shoulder about giant corporations and the "people in charge" won't help.

Alarm as Earth hits 'Overshoot Day'-NGOs:

It marks a tipping point when people have used up "all that ecosystems can regenerate in one year".

The scary part is it gets earlier every year. Now in July, soon it will be in June, then May, April, March..

What next?

Be alert..
