Aug 2, 2017 marks Earth Overshoot Day, the date by which humans will have used more natural resources than the planet can renew in the whole year.
It is the day on which mankind consumed more natural resources than the planet can renew throughout the whole of the year.

this is the first time of hearing it. I hope it doesn't have any harmful effect on the planet or the people living in the planet.
