In 2017, a report by Global Footprint Network declared August 2 as the overshoot day, which means that humanity has consumed all the resources for that year and the resources they will use between August 2 to December 31 will never be replenished by the earth. Which means humanity has consumed more than earth can produce. Even with this kind of extravagant consumption, 821 million people are still not getting food on their plates. Well this definitely tells about the state of human society we are living in. This question our our actions on the planet. Are we doing right things? Definitely not.
We are living in a world with 7.6 billion population which is projected to reach almost 10 billion by 2050, so are we handling our birth right? I don't think so. With this kind of population we will face existential crisis in the very near future. It does not matter how much affluence we get, if population is not handled properly we would be overshooting all the time.
We are living in a world with so much disparity in all level of society. It is understandable that under developed and developed countries are suffering from all kinds of ills be it lack of education (although nobody is doing it right), health and poverty and they are working to become developed, but even developed countries are suffering their affluence, which shows that we are heading in the wrong direction altogether.
This whole world is a one big living organism and we are doing everything to kill it. Humans are so self centric that we believe that only purpose of the planet is to serve us, which is a very distorted idea. This idea drive us in exploitative mode, without caring about anything. If we could consider ourselves a part of the planet I think we will act more sensibly. Otherwise one day our children will be thinking about leaving the planet.
