Earth Overshoot Day falls this Saturday in Sweden, earlier than last year and coinciding with Easter. Known in Swedish as the ecological debt day, it marks the point when the country has exhausted its share of Earth's renewable resources for the year. Author Johanna Flood calls for reduced consumption during the holiday.
Earth Overshoot Day occurs on April 4 in Sweden, one day earlier than in 2025. It coincides with Easter, a time when consumption typically rises.
Johanna Flood, author of the book "Konsumindre", states: "We do not become happier from consuming, research shows that."
The day highlights how rapidly Sweden depletes natural resources. Calculations indicate the country has now exceeded its sustainable limit for the year, prompting discussions on sustainable consumption.
