A report says mankind will have spent its allowance of natural resources such as water, soil & clean air for all of 2019 by Monday. The study by the Global Footprint Network says the so-called Earth Overshoot Day has surged up by 2 months over the past 20 years. This year's date is the earliest ever, which means humanity is currently using nature 1.75 times faster than our planet's ecosystems can regenerate.
