Overshoot Day 2023: Switzerland has been bankrupt since May 13th.

No Description

We've been living here on credit since May 13 - because we've used up the available resources for this year. The earth can only continue to be inhabited by us humans in the long term within the so-called planetary boundaries.

Switzerland exceeds the planetary boundaries in at least four out of nine categories:
👉🏼 Loss of biodiversity (exceeded 3.8x)
👉🏼 Climate change (19 times exceeded)
👉🏼 Water consumption (2.7x exceeded)
👉🏼 Nitrogen over-fertilization (2.4x exceeded)

So, in less than 5 months, Switzerland used up all the resources for the whole year. The way we do business and consume... is destroying our livelihoods.

At the moment we are working against ourselves instead of for us.
But we can change that now.
