Portugal exhauses Monday available resources for 2024
Portugal exhauses Monday the natural resources that had available for this year, 23 days earlier than in 2024, indicate data from the International Organization “Global Footprint Network” released this Sunday.
The data means that the features on the planet available for this year would end on Monday if all people in the world consumed like the Portuguese. There are resources, but in the organization’s accounts, Portugal’s consumption is now exhausted the planet’s regeneration capacity for 2025.
According to the Global Footprint Network, last Tuesday, the European Union (EU) also reached the “Overload Day of the Planet”, the day that sold out the resources available for this year and began to consume the resources it should only be used next year.
By 2024, the day when Europeans had already consumed resources throughout the year was registered on May 3. Portugal, last year, had reached overload on May 28 and this year consumed resources for one year to May 5.
The Netherlands also now exhaust the resources that Earth can renew in a year. And the Longees, like the Portuguese, live as if there were three planets and treat nature as an inexhaustible resource, says the organization.
According to the “Global Footprint Network”, the first country to exhaust the funds this year was Qatar, as early as February 6. Last year it had also been the first, but on February 11.
Luxembourg appears again in second place, consuming everything on February 17, and third Singapore on February 26.
On the other side of the map, from the countries that can save their resources more stand out Uruguay, which only exhausts those destined to it on December 17.
Indonesia exhausts them on November 18, Nicaragua on the 11th and Ecuador on October 31.
Global Footprint Network is an international research organization that provides decision makers to help human economy to function within Earth’s ecological limits. The calculations to estimate overload days are based on the latest data.
