Each year, Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when we have used all the biological resources that the Earth can renew during the entire year. The Global Footprint Network combines data and the most reasonable assumptions to make this calculation.

This year, Earth Overshoot Day fell on July 30. After just seven months, Earth’s population consumed resources that Earth can only replenish in twelve.

But not all countries consume the same amount of resources.

If all the people around the world lived like Iraq, Earth Overshoot Day would be today, September 23.

This week was Zero Emissions Day and it comes at a pivotal moment for U.S. climate policy.

In February, the EPA rescinded the 2009 Endangerment Finding and federal greenhouse gas standards for vehicles. Just this week, the agency finalized the repeal of much of the 2024 greenhouse gas requirements for power plants while proposing to eliminate the remaining federal GHG standards for the sector.

Whatever happens at the federal level, the challenge of reducing emissions remains.

Zero Emissions Day is a reminder that progress also happens through businesses, communities, innovation and the everyday choices that shape how we use energy and resources.

Along the trails of Solstice Canyon in California’s Santa Monica Mountains, the effects of wildfire are still visible. Dark, fire-scarred trunks stand among new growth. A striking reminder of both the power of wildfire and the remarkable ability of natural ecosystems to recover.

Fire has shaped California’s landscapes for centuries, and many native species have developed adaptations that help them survive and regenerate. Some plants can resprout from roots or other living tissue after their branches have burned, while others rely on seeds that germinate following fire.

Recovery does not happen overnight, nor is it guaranteed. The frequency and intensity of fires can have a significant impact on an ecosystem’s ability to regenerate.

But across landscapes like Solstice Canyon, nature offers an extraordinary lesson in resilience: surviving disturbance, adapting to change and, given the right conditions, beginning to grow again.

Sometimes resilience doesn’t mean emerging untouched; it means finding a way to keep growing. 🌱

What if brands stopped trying to be the culture and started investing in the people creating it?

Vogue explores a shift from traditional sponsorships and branded content toward cultural patronage, where companies fund artists, writers, musicians and institutions without demanding the spotlight in return.

It’s a compelling idea: sometimes the best way for a brand to build cultural relevance is to support culture, not sell through it.

Brands are beginning to rethink their role in culture, moving from trying to create or control it to funding the people and the ecosystems already producing it.

♻️ IKEA is giving its furniture a second life.

The company is launching a second-hand marketplace in the UK, making it easier for customers to buy and sell pre-owned IKEA furniture locally. It’s a practical example of circularity in action: keeping products in use longer, reducing waste and making reuse more accessible.

Could resale become a standard part of how major brands do business?

The Pacific is sending a warning.

Scientists say the developing El Niño is already showing record-breaking strength for this point in the year, and it's expected to intensify in the months ahead. That could mean more extreme weather worldwide, from droughts and wildfires to floods and stronger storms.

As our climate changes, understanding these global patterns isn't just about forecasting the weather, but preparing our communities for what's ahead.

Women’s Equality Day marks the adoption of the 19th Amendment in 1920: an important turning point in the long fight for women’s right to vote.

It’s also a good reminder that progress doesn’t just happen. It takes people willing to speak up, challenge what’s accepted and keep pushing things forward.

More than a century later, that work still matters.
