Why Did Earth Overshoot Day Happen Almost One Month Earlier in 2021?

We’ll have already used up all the resources Earth can naturally reproduce for this year by July 29, researchers say.

Every year, researchers calculate the date by which we will use up all the resources the planet is capable of naturally renewing over the entire year. This year's Earth Overshoot Day falls on July 29. That means that 210 days into 2021, we’ll be living on credit or digging into our savings to live and survive on Earth.
Earth Overshoot Day was created by the Global Footprint Network, and it’s determined by measuring biocapacity, the biological capacity of the planet to regenerate natural resources and absorb waste materials.

But so far as the world as a whole is concerned, I've looked at the numbers and I have to say no.

You people make me laugh and, at the same time worry me regarding the extreme actions your propaganda may persuade many people to pursue. I remember hearing 'the sky is falling' propaganda when I was in grade school during the 1970s. Guess what. The sky didn't fall. None of the predictions of ecological and environmental disaster, nor population sustainability came to pass. I've done quite a bit of research on the Earth Overshoot Day movement and discovered mamy flawed and inaccurate data as well as arbitrary metrics you use to reach your conclusions. I am all for being ecologically an environmentally responsible, recycling, and reducing waste. However I have never noticed any diminished resources nor a noteable increase of the cost the resources I use over the past 15 years(including water - and I live in the southern Sonoran desert). I'm not certain what your game is, but it appears to be just that. A game. Unless of course you are easily manipulated mentally and actually believe the people behind this movement. Take care and try to have a good day!

Aren’t there currently many severe droughts and drying of fresh water reservoirs along USA? And Australia too.

@@melaniey.5596 Droughts, like climate changes, come and go and have done so for centuries of recorded history. I haven't seen any droughts nor climate changes yet that vary significantly from the historical record.

@@donnelson6694 do you remember that time that they banned DDT because its was killing the birds, and the US didn't want to have a famine like China did after they killed all their sparrows?

Don, it's okay to be afraid of change. You shouldn't let the world changing make you so angry though. People are allowed to care about the planet they live on.
