Today, July 29, 2021 can be remembered as Earth Overshoot Day, “the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year.” It can also be remembered as the day we get inspired, learn, pledge to take action, talk to others, and recognize those who are making the world a more sustainable place.

We prefer the latter.

Thank you for everything, big and small, that you’re doing to live more sustainably and creating a more habitable planet for us all. You are appreciated!
