🌍 Earth Overshoot Day is a reminder—not a prediction.

Most importantly, the date isn't fixed.

It moves when we restore forests, protect wetlands, strengthen biodiversity, reduce waste, and make more sustainable everyday choices.

Our latest newsletter explores why Restoring Nature and Reducing Our Impact are two of the most practical ways we can help move Earth Overshoot Day later in the years ahead.

Climate change is leading to longer and more extreme heat waves, which dry out vegetation, enabling wildfires to spread quickly. According to the European Forest Fire Information System, as of July 22, the total burned area in the Mediterranean during this year's wildfire season is already 70% higher than in previous years.

🌍 Today is Earth Overshoot Day.

From today onward, humanity is using nature faster than the Earth can regenerate it.

While that's a sobering milestone, it doesn't have to define our future.

Earth Overshoot Day is not a fixed date.

It moves when we restore forests, protect wetlands, conserve biodiversity, reduce waste, and make more sustainable everyday choices.

Every action matters.
Every restored ecosystem matters.
Every person who chooses to tread more lightly on our planet helps build a more resilient future.

Together, we can help restore nature's annual budget.

Restore Nature. Reduce Our Impact.

07/29/2026

On Thursday, humanity will reach Earth Overshoot Day—the point when we've used more from nature than the Earth can regenerate in an entire year.

Here's the good news... Earth Overshoot Day can be moved. 👉 bit.ly/45gseyj

Every tree planted.
Every forest restored.
Every hectare protected.
Every community empowered to care for nature.

Each one helps rebuild Earth's capacity to regenerate the resources we all depend upon.

At Purpose on the Planet, we believe lasting change comes from acting on both sides of the equation:

🌳 Restore nature.
🌍 Reduce our impact.

That's why we combine community-led ecosystem restoration in Africa with a complimentary enrichment series to help all of us to live more sustainably every day. 👉bit.ly/MakeGlobalLocal

Together, we really can help move the date.

🌿 Earth Overshoot Day isn't just about using too many resources—it's also about weakening the ecosystems that produce and renew them.

🌳 Forests regulate rainfall.
💧 Wetlands filter freshwater.
🌾 Healthy soils and pollinators grow our food.
🌎 Natural ecosystems store carbon and help communities withstand floods, droughts, and extreme weather.

When nature thrives, people thrive.

Protecting and restoring these living systems is one of the smartest investments we can make in our shared future.

💚 Imagine Earth has an annual budget.

Each year, nature renews the forests, freshwater, fertile soils, fisheries, and biodiversity that make life possible.

Earth Overshoot Day marks the point when humanity has spent that entire annual budget: https://bit.ly/45gseyj

Scientists estimate that we're currently using renewable natural resources at about 1.73 times the rate the Earth can regenerate them.

It's a simple idea with a powerful message:

We're asking more of nature than it can sustainably regenerate.

Fortunately, this isn't a fixed story—and together, we can help change it.

🌍 It's a date that's about far more than the environment...

In seven days' time, July 30th, humanity will reach Earth Overshoot Day—the point when we've used more from nature than the Earth can regenerate in an entire year.

https://bit.ly/45gseyj

But this isn't simply an environmental milestone.

It's a reminder that the natural systems providing our food, water, fertile soils, forests, fisheries, and stable climate are under increasing strain.

Over the next week, we'll explore what Earth Overshoot Day really means—and, more importantly, how together we can help move the date.

Because a more sustainable future begins by understanding the systems that sustain us.

Today parts of Europe are seeing their hottest June day ever on record. As part of the National Emergency Briefing given behind closed doors in London last year, this was the segment delivered on the increasing frequency and intensity of weather extremes, and the urgent need for action and adaptation as conditions become increasingly unstable. bit.ly/Emergency-Briefing-Extreme-Weather

🌍 Most people care about creating a better future.

The challenge is turning that intention into meaningful action throughout the year.

That's why we created a simple experience designed for workplaces, associations, and families that connects:

✨ Global Impact
✨ Local Action
✨ Shared Purpose

Through the ReWrite Our Story program, every $5 contribution per participant:

🌱 Helps plant 10 trees in Africa
🤝 Creates work and income in vulnerable communities
📚 Unlocks a full year of inspiring monthly content focused on 12 Global Goals—from Zero Hunger and Clean Water to Climate Action and Life on Land

Each month explores both the impact being created on the ground and practical ways we can apply those same lessons closer to home.

Because lasting change often begins with something simple: One idea. One habit. Shared with others.
