Climate warning

Today is Sweden's overshoot day

Today is Sweden's overshoot day and one of the earliest in Europe. This occurs when one country has consumed more natural resources than the Earth can regenerate in a given year so from April 3, (yes only April 3!) Sweden is using more resources than the planet can sustainably provide, which contributes to the depletion of natural resources and the acceleration of climate change.
Overshoot day is a sign that a country is consuming resources at a very unsustainable rate, and this means that Sweden's ecological footprint is much larger than other countries and its impact on the environment is much greater. It's important for the Swedish government to take action to move the date by reducing its ecological footprint and moving towards sustainable consumption and production patterns. Because if everyone lived like the Swedes we would need four planets, and we're far from that. 🤯
Time for a change!

        Sweden should be leaders like they were in the past- a lot of countries looked to Sweden as an example. Whatever happened to "lagom"??

            Sweden's early overshoot day suggests excessive resource consumption. This depletes resources and adds to climate change, which has serious environmental and social consequences.

                Sweden must have a strategy to counter this effects. This effects will affect Sweden and the rest of the world so something must be done.

                  Well, this is uncalled for. They should find friendly and reasonable solutions that does not have a negative aftermath

                    @daniel_waweru_656 Come to think of it, it is a nice idea. They need to think of other solutions
