We Just Used Up All of Earth's Resources For The Year, And It's Only July 我们目前已经用完了今年的全球资源配额，而现在才七月。 If this headline looks familiar to you, that's because we wrote an almost identical one in 2016. 如果你觉得这个标题似曾相识，那是因为我们在2016年写过几乎相同的一篇文章。 Except back then, we were freaking out because we'd used a year's worth of Earth's resources by August 8. 而那时候，我们震惊于我们在8月8日就用光了全球本应在一年内使用的资源。 Now, three years later, we've accomplished this worrying milestone more than a week earlier. 三年后的今天，我们提前一个多周就到了这一令人担忧的阶段。 This year, July 29th marks Earth Overshoot Day - the date on which we've burnt through the amount of resources our planet can renew in a year. 今年的7月29日是地球生态超载日，在这一天我们用光了地球本年度所有的可再生资源。 Every year we blow this ecological budget earlier and earlier and at our current rate of resource use we'd need 1.75 planets to support our demand on Earth's ecosystem. 每年我们都越来越早地用光我们的生态预算，而且以我们目前的资源消耗速度，我们需要1.75个地球才能满足我们对地球生态系统资源的需求。 |
