Explanation:

Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when we (all of humanity) have used more from nature than our planet can regenerate in the entire year.
We are using 1.7 Earths. We use more ecological resources and services than nature can regenerate through overfishing, overharvesting forests, and emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than ecosystems can absorb.Since Inception in 1987 Earth Overshoot day was 19 December and is continously shifting upwards in calendar and July 29, was earth overshoot day in 2019.It is calculated by WWF and Global Footprint Network.
