earth overshoot day today
We’re excited to report that Earth Overshoot Day enjoyed yet another very strong following around the world this year. We have tracked over 5100 media stories in 86 countries. Many reacted, including Austria’s President Van Bellen who tweeted about it . So did young Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg, prompting 10.5k people to engage.
