We are "eating the planet" with an excessive speed. That is, in short, the grand conclusion Overcapacity Day the Earth held Tuesday. According to the Global Footprint Network, WWF partner worldwide organization, which analyze the ecological footprint of man, so far have overcome the world's capacity to regenerate what we consumed. For 14 years this indicator capturing fast to use our land resources was reached on October 1. This time it was on August 19.
"If we want to build a future for our children, we must preserve the natural capital we have left and sustainably manage the world's resources," says Marco Lambertini, CEO of WWF International. "We are abusing the Earth's limited resources."
According to this organization, five decades humanity consumed only two-thirds of the available natural resources. Then, the majority of countries have a positive environmental effect. Your ecological footprint was small and sustainable. But today, consumption levels have skyrocketed and have exceeded the specified limits. Planet and need a way to supply our needs. And to continue, the future does not look promising: it will take at least three planets to meet our needs.
"While the current trend shows that humanity is abusing the planet's capacity to supply us, we still have time to take decisive action and build a business based on sustainable consumption of natural resources future," says Lambertini.
This lack would regulate human consumption and avoid a number of behaviors that help degrade biodiversity. It would take, for example, that disminuyéramos dependence on fossil fuels, and that we consume seafood, we verify that with the MSC label. Same with products derived from wood, which should have the FSC certification. This contributes, in p art, sustainable production of these products.
Would it also make a global commitment to an energy model based on renewable energy that can reduce the level of emissions that pollute the air and are affecting forests and oceans.
