It’s Only August and We’ve Used Up a Year’s Worth of Earth’s Resources
With the planet’s population expected to increase to 10 billion by the year 2050, we desperately need to figure out how we’re going to provide enough food, water, and other vital resources for all of these people. But when you consider the alarming rate at which we’re currently burning through Earth’s resources – even with a much smaller global population – it becomes clear that there simply will not be enough left to go around by that point unless we make some major changes.
They say that recognizing an issue is the first step to fixing it, and this is certainly the case when it comes to solving our current conundrum of how to slow down the global usage of ecological resources. In an effort to encourage citizens of the world to take this problem seriously, Global Footprint Network, an international, non-profit research organization, has begun collecting data about annual global resource usage. Using this data, they calculate the day on which humanity has used as many resources as the planet can generate in the entire year, a grim annual “holiday” which they’ve designated Earth Overshoot Day.
This year, Earth Overshoot Day fell on August 1st. This means we’ve already maxed out our planet’s renewable resources for the year, and we’re only a little more than halfway through 2018. Further, in order to support the highly unsustainable rate at which we’re currently exhausting our available resources, we’d need 1.7 Earths. Pretty unsettling, right?
In recent years, Earth Overshoot Day has been coming earlier and earlier. While every resident of the Earth is responsible for the exhaustion of natural resources in some capacity (we need food and water to survive, after all!), one’s individual lifestyle choices have a huge impact on how significant of a role they play.
For instance, eating meat and dairy greatly increases one’s contribution to ecological resource depletion since animal products require significantly more resources to produce than plant-based ones. Just how many resources does the detrimental animal agriculture industry use up? Well, it currently takes up more than half of the world’s arable land resources, uses the majority of our freshwater stores, and accounts for more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector. Not to mention the system is causing widespread air and water pollution, rampant deforestation, and unprecedented levels of species extinction.
With this in mind, the Chinese government has set a goal to reduce meat consumption in the nation by 50 percent by 2030, a move which would decrease the country’s Ecological Footprint by over 126 million global hectares and move the date of Overshoot Day back 1.5 days. That alone would be a huge improvement, so just imagine what would happen if everyone on the planet gave up meat! The reality is, if we want to have a sustainable future and avoid running out of resources, dismantling the animal agriculture industry is not an option; it’s an absolute necessity.
Fortunately, with the plethora of plant-based options already available to us, we can easily feed the world’s growing population simply by redirecting human-edible crops, such as maize, from animals to humans. Seems like a no-brainer, but the sad truth is that Big Meat and Dairy will continue wreaking havoc on our planet and expending its natural resources at sky-high rates as long as there is a demand for animal products (and money to be made).
To learn how you can help put an end to the madness and secure a healthy, equitable future for all of Earth’s inhabitants just by making a few changes to your diet, check out the #EatForThePlanet book!

Ten Billion? Easily doable. All we have to do is level the playing field and let the 1st world live on their fair share. It is going to happen anyway. Start now and avoid the rush!

It is too late tt save western countries. Same problems are now happening in all whites countries:UK, Australia, German. We need a white country for white people only. We need to stop selling and sharing whites inventions such as water treatment, internet to countries that are not white and let the shit skins die. For example all the white could move to Russia or Poland build a strong border, deport all none white and leftist and stop sharing white technologies and let shit skins die. This is the only way we will save white technologies and modern civilization. If we don’t do that, we will lose all the white technologies and we will go back to dark ages where people die of cholera. We could also build a white country for white people only around the St-Laurent river. A country starting up north including the St-Laurent river and North America east coast. Invite all the white in this new countries and deport all none white and leftist. This way will have plenty of water and plenty of place to build electrical plant. As long as a white country has electricity will will survive.

White America is indeed dead, it is too late to save that one. Secession of the Mississippi bassin is all that is left to at least have a (reduced) white presence in North-America.
Eastern-Europe and Russia only had to endure (((economic communism))), not the far more destructive (((US racial communism))). That is why Eastern Europe including Russia is the future for western Europe, not ZOG-USA, the worst disaster in European history.
Brexit and Trump are Godsends.
Bye-bye Anglo-Zionism, good riddance to you. Continental European populism is next and the US-oriented western European elites will get the 1989-treatment. Trump is the American Gorbachev and undertaker of the US empire.
Mongrelize all by yourself if you have to. We’ll pick up a piece of the American Pie, a white piece to be precise, after the US will have descended into inevitable chaos and inter-ethnic violence and finally Balkanization.

The ranch/farm a mile away has probably 300 head of cattle at all times, the ranch/farm one-half mile down the road probably has 300 head and the ranch/farm another mile to the west probably has another 300 head. Then the ranch/farm three miles away probably has 200 head of cattle.
There are no people in the pastures grazing away, just cattle. Cattle have a plant-based diet. People eat chicken, feed the chickens pigeon grass, screenings from the grain elevator, voila, fried chicken for supper.
Cattle feed on grasses and alfalfa. That is why they are raised on ranches and in pastures, they provide beef.
Grasses turn a calf into a big grown cow or steer then people butcher them and eat them.
Nobody will go hungry for miles around.
Dug potatoes today, got about a hundred pounds. Picked cucumbers, the total is about a hundred pounds or more. Broccoli, lettuce, kohlrabi, peppers, zucchini, all sorts of stuff.
It’s only August and there is plenty left to do to get ‘er all done.
I’ll be eating beefsteak to have enough energy to do the work.
It isn’t going to be happening any other way.
Bunny food for people doesn’t work, it ain’t gonna work.

Deadly, that is how it is around here too. The problem is the people in the city and what they will do when they get hungry. I guess it matters how hungry people get whether or fallback situation works out.

Who is talking about a “colony”, I prefer to use the phrase “junior partner”?
You yourself finally began to speculate about the breakup of the US along ethnic lines earlier this week, something I have been doing for years now. It is you who is finally beginning to see the light.lol

Let me give you a small hint. Here is the Twitter page of one of the leaders of US alt-right, Richard Spencer. Now what do you see in his page (hint: flags)
https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer
They have given up on the US, as they should. Trump is the last president who represents the interests of white America in an election that was won against all odds. That stunt will never be repeated. When Trump will be gone, somewhere between next week and 2024, the realization that white America will have become powerless will sink in and that great white mass will set itself in motion when the first major bills will come in, like from this socialist:

I fully understand your anger, millimind, I would be angry too if I were about to lose the ownership of a country the size of a continent, as your tribe is about to suffer. But as the saying goes, “shit happens” and in your case it is going to be quite the turd.
The future is easy to predict. Let’s face it, everybody and his mother wants to live in white lands. Whitey is beginning to realize that this drive among non-whites will come at the cost of his identity and nation, not to mention his income position. In short: he is losing his home to hostile foreigners, not entirely unlike what happened to the “Indians” and we all remember what happened to them.
A neo-bolshevik revolution is looming over North-American lands, this time of a racial nature. Fortunately for American whitey, the situation is now entirely different as compared to the original bolshevik revolution, when the entire developed world was recovering from WW1 and stopped them from a serious intervention in Russia.
This time it is vastly different. If the shtf in North-America, something you yourself are broadcasting will happen here 24/7, 2 billion Eurasians will be standing by, not be able to believe their luck about the developments. It will be like 22:00 PM, with the shop manager having forgotten to close down the supermarket and switch on the alarm. Eurasians just have to grab a shopping cart and fill er up, geopolitical speaking.
Of course said Eurasians will ensure that nobody will win in the standoff, just a Soviet-style breakup would be in their best interest. One geopolitical competitor less.
Continental Europe will take the 100 million or so Euro-American “fashies”…

“I’m not the one here who has earned himself the title of ‘Delusional Davy’, Davy.”
Well, Greygoar, having deviants give me that name is a honor. It means mission accomplished. You dumbasses spend an inordinate amount of time stroking out over me. It is called moderation Greygoar and if you were more humble you would except your education and try to learn from your mistakes. Your problem is you are a holier than thou, know it all narcissist so there is no humility and desire to learn.
“Most of what you post here is purely delusional and exists only in delusional davy-land.”
Ah, grehgoar, I post real comments from time to time in between the times when I have to deal with your trolling. You on the other hand say very little to nothing. Most of your time is spent wasting space with your Facebook troll gaming. You do not make contributions Greygoar and the words that would prove you do are not here. Today for example you have said nothing considered educational and enlightening. You just pay your social calls to the gang or stalk and prick Americans. We don’t need people like you here Greygoar.

Right narcissist as respected members leave to go elsewhere because of the gangbanging you and your gang are doing here. It would help if you dumbasses actually said something on occasion but you rarely contribute. Most of the time it is trolling behavior or Facebook chats with your gang buddies. I am still waiting on a proper comment from you and your buddy boney juan so I can document your board contribution activity.

That’s quite a long post, Siss, to your standards, respect!
“Clogged Climate, if you weren’t a racist, misogynist, manifest dumpster diver, hubristic know-it-all, and delusional, you’d still be sorry excuse for a human being.”
Much unlike the stratospheric moral titan that you represent, eh? The usual virtual signaling.
“And not everyone wants to live in whiteyland,like any race that has had intimate dealings with them, especially blacks and Native Americans.:
Most do, but don’t see the chance. Only young virile fighting age men give it a try. Besides, the time that Americans held slaves and genocided “Indians” is quite some time ago.
“Your glee and zeal for promoting a master race has been defeated throughout history”
Can’t remember ever having “promoted a master race”, not becoming overrun by the third world would suffice, thank you very much. A disaster brought upon us btw by your masters, with your Anglo cooperation. But the end of that is now in sight. We’ll finally get rid of you, one way or the other.
“more than ever we need cooperation amongst the tribes to confront the bottleneck we will all be passing through.”
No shit Shetlock, could not agree more, although I fail to see why that cooperation should imply mass migration. And it is quite a statement from somebody whose club is the only one who withdrew from the climate accords. Stick your pious delusions in a place where the sun doesn’t shine.

Hey Davy,
When you have your next little psychological meltdown, (and you will) make sure to bring your little documentation project in for the nice doctors to look at.
No doubt it’ll help with the entire diagnostic and treatment process. If the nice doctors break out in hysterical laughter, don’t give up hope. Keep trying until you can find someone who’ll keep things down to a bare chuckle.
And Davy, don’t expect recovery to happen very quickly this time, you’re way too far gone now buddy.
