\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but “we failed again.” This past Monday was “Earth Overshoot Day.” Never heard of it? Maybe you know it by its old name. It used to be called Ecological Debt Day.<\/p>\n

In any event, this past Monday was the day humanity officially used up more resources than the earth can replenish annually. Supposedly.<\/p>\n

The Huffing-and-Puffington Post summed up the dire nature of your collective failure this way: “We\u2019ve already used up earth\u2019s resources” for this year. “And it\u2019s only August.”<\/p>\n

Do you people understand what this means? For the rest of the year, each and every one you will be consuming resources you shouldn\u2019t. You\u2019ll be taking resources that belong to future generations. That\u2019s right. Every time you turn on the lights, use the sink, ask the grocer for a paper bag or drive your car, you\u2019re using resources you don\u2019t own. You\u2019re a failure. And a thief.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s worse news. In 1971, Earth Overshoot Day was on December 24th. Christmas Eve. But thanks to your never-ending greed, your inability to control yourselves you people are using up Mother Earth\u2019s gifts at an alarming rate.<\/p>\n

If this doesn\u2019t stop, you\u2019ll strip Mother Earth bare and find out what it\u2019s like to live in a world with no resources at all! I\u2019m so ashamed. Of you. When will you people freaking learn? You\u2019re stealing your kids future, even their lightbulbs! <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
