Earth Overshoot Day

28

Jul

Earth Overshoot Day is the date when people have used up all the natural resources that Earth can provide in one year, like food, water, and clean air. After this day, we're using more than nature can make in a year, which is like spending more money than you earn. It happens because we use too many resources and create too much waste. When Earth Overshoot Day comes earlier, it means we're using up what Earth gives us too quickly, which isn't good for nature or for us. It's important to use resources wisely to protect our planet.

How to celebrate Earth Overshoot Day?

Celebrate Earth Overshoot Day by doing activities that help our planet. Plant a tree or some flowers to give back to nature. Ride a bike or walk instead of using a car to save energy. Make crafts using recycled materials, like turning an old jar into a colorful pencil holder. Cook a meal with local fruits and veggies to reduce waste. Pick up trash in a nearby park to make it cleaner. Tell your friends about ways to help the Earth, like using less water and turning off lights. Remember, small actions can make a big difference!
