Earth Overshoot Day
The Earth Overshoot Day, is the moment in which the planet's
consumption exceeds the capacity to renew resources and also
to absorb the waste that we produce, making evident the high
environmental cost of the over-exploitation of resources in daily
life.
According to the Global Footprint Network (GFN), to date, the
ecological footprint of humans implies the use of resources
equivalent to 1.6 planets, reaching 3 planets by 2050 if we continue
with this rate of consumption.

Foundation, PEW and other actors called "Breaking the Plastic
Wave", where an urgent call is made to implement collaborative
measures for the next 20 years throughout the chain of value, to
reduce 80% of plastic pollution by 2040 considering recycling
as 20% of the solution to plastic pollution combined with other
solutions.
