Beautiful lives on a healthy planet. Alerting the public, journalists, and policymakers that we are in ecological overshoot. We must scale back the size of the human enterprise (economy and population) to get back in balance. Posts by Dave Gardner, E.D.

It's time that everyone know we're in overshoot. We must walk more lightly on the planet. #EarthOvershootDay

It's #EarthOvershootDay. What are you doing to shrink your ecological footprint?

#EarthOvershootDay is almost over. So surely by now you know what ecological overshoot is, and you've thought of some good ways to shrink your footprint. Please share! Some of us need inspiration.

Still thinking about the behavior change we need to get out of overshoot. It's #EarthOvershootDay, dammit.

It's #EarthOvershootDay - a day we recognize how much we've outgrown the planet. We need to scale back in every way - energy, material overconsumption, and population. So celebrate population contraction!

Small thing, but they do add up. We need to be on an energy diet. Something to think about on #EarthOvershootDay

On #EarthOvershootDay (today), we should step up our conversations about scaling back - and get busy doing that. Let us know how you're shrinking your ecological footprint!

Can you imagine another system, another path, that won't chew up our planet's live-supporting ecosystems, won't leave our kids a Mad Max world or even a dead planet? #GlobalDegrowthDay

Since that's not going to happen, how about we stop chasing "more" and find great satisfaction in "enough"? #GlobalDegrowthDay

Today is #GlobalDegrowthDay We've outgrown our planet, yet we insist on continuing to pursue economic and population growth. There's a better way. (We explore that in every episode of the GrowthBusters podcast.) #overshoot
