[Feature][free report] Living on credit with the planet |

Living on credit with the planet Is it fair? ⠀ ⠀ Last night, in the Library of Foreign Literature, 80 people came to listen to my lecture on my lecture on ecology and find out what resources, such as small simple eco-habits, reduce our ecological footprint and why humanity already needs not one planet, but 1.74! 👀⠀ ⠀ They came because July 29, 2019 came World Ecological Debt Day, which means that people have spent all the resources that our wonderful planet Earth could restore in a year. ⠀ I do not like the name Day of Environmental Debt, as it is a continuation, pressure on conscience and shame. Nobody likes such manipulations, but this does not change the essence, and a personal credit day for Russia came on April 26. ⠀ Do not forget that we borrow not only from the planet, but also from future generations. We live now, and they will have to pay. ⠀ ⠀ Every year, Eco-Debt Day comes earlier: ⠀ ⠀ in 1970 it came on December 23, in 2000 - on October 4, in 2016 - on August 1, in 2018 - on August 2, and now on July 29. ⠀ ⠀ For a year it is 4 days .. and our universal task is to push Eco-Debt Day as far as possible. ⠀ ⠀ What is one day for the planet: ⠀ ⠀ ✖️ At least 20,000 ha of forests are being lost. ⠀ ⠀ ✖️ Up to 4.8 million tons of garbage appears. ⠀ ⠀ 12Eating up 12.5 million tons of food, of which 3.7 million tons are simply thrown away. ⠀ ⠀ ✖️ 88.5 megatons of CO2 are released into the atmosphere. ⠀ ⠀ Humanity cannot return all the resources to the planet, so we have one solution - to stop taking. Consciously consume and leave behind a cultural, not trash mark! ⠀ ⠀ The goal is achievable. After all, even small changes for the better are small, but a victory. ⠀ ⠀ No matter how much you do today, the main thing is that you already do it! ❤️ ⠀

Hi Yeva!
I know that the name given to this day does not suited, but I do feel that it is a befitting title for Saturday because we know and understand that humanity has not only used but has over utilised the resources of the Earth and therefore is now digging into the pockets of the future generations resources full stop and I feel these are issues that needs to be spoken of more frequently and dissected into detail.
Stay blessed,
Rosa
