Maybe a slight misunderstanding… If everyone in the WORLD lived the way people do in the US then we need 5.1 earths. If everyone in the WORLD lived the way people do in India then we would need less. Makes sense to me.
Earth overshoot day is the day each year we use more resources than the Earth regenerates in a year. Last year we used our yearly “budget” by July 24th.
In other words the way we live is unsustainable and killing our ability to live on this rock.

Probably illustrating that our current situation isn’t sustainable.
