Four days earlier than last year registered, humans have begun to live on credit against nature, consuming resources that should be heritage for future generations.
Each year Global Footprint Network Ecological (Global Footprint Network, or GFN) estimates the “ Day Excess Earth “, when the biological capacity of ecosystems to regenerate resources renewable and absorb different waste generated by man form, is no longer sufficient to sustain the demands of the world population in a year.
“It’s like if we ran out of money three quarters of month and we had to borrow money to make ends meet, “said Ricado Bosshard, director of WWF Chile.
The manager said that this is due, among other things, we are delivering to the more CO2 atmosphere of what our trees are able to fix or destroying forests at a faster rate than they have to be restored.
WWF called to take action to reverse the situation: “There are several key issues that can generate a positive change, to increase non-conventional renewable energy in our energy mix and the establishment of more marine and terrestrial protected areas , reaching a more sustainable consumption of resources by the community and daily choices such as reducing the use of plastic bags, among other things “.
While the outlook is grim, said Bosshard people are increasingly aware that the Earth has limits that we can not continue in transgression, so we must begin to make a difference.
