Today is #EarthOvershootDay , the day when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services for 2023 exceeds what Earth can regenerate.
While especially today it's tempting to draw attention to #overconsumption, in this blog post I argue that it's both ineffective to target individuals but also not the way the economy works.
Our focus should be on #overproduction.
