- Definition day on which the ecological resources used up by humanity since the beginning of the current calendar year are equivalent to the resources which the Earth can regenerate in a full year Reference "COM-EN based on:Global Footprint Network > Footprint Basics > World Footprint > Earth Overshoot Day, http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/earth_overshoot_day/ (12.10.2009)"
