Earth Overshoot Day 2025

Today is the Earth Overshoot Day:
"Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. This ecological deficit spending is possible because we can liquidate stocks of ecological resources and accumulate waste, most prominently carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As overspending can not last, overshoot will end. The question is only how: by design or disaster."

During his research for a speech about the Earth Overshoot Day for the Hanullis, Carlos found an even more interesting diagram about the Country Overshoot days 2025.
"Every year, a Country Overshoot Day marks the date when the planet's annual biocapacity budget would be used up if everyone on Earth lived at the same level of consumption as the residents of that particular country."
There are huge differencs: Country Overshoot day would be for example:

February 6 for Qatar
March 13 for the USA
May 3 for Germany
May 20 for the United Kingdom
December 17 for Uruguay
