Country's Overshoot Days from 2020 to 2022
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. Earth Overshoot Day in 2020 was August 22, and in 2021 it was July 19, meaning that the world is using 170% of Earth resources or 1.7 Earths in a year, and has been doing so for decades.

A Country’s Overshoot day is the date on which Earth Overshoot Day would fall if all of humanity consumed like the people in this country. This allows for comparison between nations.
The USA Overshoot Day fell on March 14 two years in a row, in 2020 and 2021, and in 2022 it fell on March 13. What it means is that, it would take 5.13 Earths if everyone on this planet lived like people in the USA.
