silver lining

OK, that's it, folks. You can stop consuming till the end of the year - last week we hit the year's limit of available resources, and we are now in overshoot mode. Since we are unlikely to do anything about it, this year we are expected to use the resource equivalent of 1.4 Earths. The good news? Earth Overshoot Day was two days later this year than last, perhaps because of the economic downturn.
