Have you heard of Earth Overshoot Day?
Earth Overshoot Day marks the date each year when the rate of global resource consumption exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year.

As architects and designers, you hold tremendous power to shape the built environment in a way that respects and conserves our precious resources.
