We're going to be 40% over-budget this year.

I just learned there was Earth Overshoot Day on Sept 23. This unfortunate day marks the day in the year where we have used up one year's worth of resources and are now barreling forward unsustainably. We are over-budget.

This is a good concept and should be better publicized. I think it is calculated simply, averaging energy use over the 365 days of the year. It would be interesting if they weighted it towards seasonal energy costs, and see how much it changes.

I don't understand why people aren't more aware that we really are going to crash this century. There are limits to growth.
