Environmental organisations are marking today, 23rd September, as "Earth Overshoot Day". Overshoot is the point at which humanity has used up all the planet's resources in a sustainable way and starts consuming the natural capital of the planet, weakening its capacity to replenish itself.
In an announcement today, the Global Ecological Footprint Group says: "For the rest of 2008, we will be in the ecological equivalent of deficit spending, drawing down our resource stocks - in essence, borrowing from the future."
