1st August 2024 is 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆, which marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and... ... services in a given year exceeds what Earth’s ecosystems can regenerate in that year. To determine the date of Earth Overshoot Day, Global Footprint Network calculates the number of days that Earth’s annual biocapacity can provide for humanity’s consumption, using the latest data. Here's Lewis Akenji, Global Footprint Network board member: “Overshoot will end. The question is how: by design or by disaster. A planned transition gives us better security than ceding to the whims of a planet thrown off balance by overshoot.” The good news is that solutions that #MoveTheDate are available and financially advantageous. GFN cites opportunities existing in five key areas: Cities, Energy, Food, Population, and Planet. The Power of Possibility highlights options that move Earth Overshoot Day. For example, cutting CO2 emissions from fossil fuels by 50% would #MoveTheDate by three months. At ClearCycle, one of our main pillars is sustainability, employing our #returnsmanagement solution to create a #circulareconomy. We're ready to #MoveTheDate! If you are too, let's talk. Not only is it good for the planet, it's good for your profitability.

🌍💡Happy Earth Day!💡🌍 You know that we, humans, do not damage the Earth long-term, right? No, no. The Earth will be here for millions of years still, and will always regenerate. However, when you choose NOT to be environmentally conscious, you ARE slowly damaging 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 on Earth, in the short-term. That's why reminders like today are so important! Posterity! So what does this have to do with us? Well, #memory products, such as #flash memory and #DRAM, are parts of whole systems which power our renewable energy systems and optimize our transportation networks, just to name a couple. By producing more innovatively #efficient products and systems, we help reduce energy consumption and minimize carbon emissions, all while reducing the environmental impact of our digital footprint. These are only some of the small ways that we are trying to drive positive change throughout our organization. As Intelligent Memory expands and grows, we are constantly re-evaluating what we can do, and how we can be more environmentally cautious and aware. So happy Earth Day, Everyone! 🌱🌎 Hopefully, days like these will remind us all to be a little more appreciative and aware of how lucky we are to call this Earth our Home. Wishing you a beautiful green and blue day! #EarthDay #Sustainability #Technology #SemiconductorMemory #Innovation #IntelligentMemory

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲? #EarthOvershootDay marks the date when humanity's demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can #regenerate in that year. The Earth Overshoot Day falling on August 1st signifies that humanity is currently using nature 1.7 times faster than our planet’s ecosystems can regenerate. The consequences of ecological overspending are evident in #deforestation, #soilerosion, #biodiversity loss, and the buildup of #carbondioxide in the atmosphere, which leads to more frequent #extremeweatherevents and reduced #foodproduction. With increasing pressure on the #planet, it has become more evident than ever that there is need for systemic actions. Corporates have a huge responsibility to identify their most material impacts and take action towards addressing those impacts. The Future-Fit Foundation provides the Future-Fit Business Benchmark, a holistic, science-based, #opensource methodology and strategic #management tool which is designed to drive systemic change and show companies how to be truly #sustainable. The #framework gives companies a clear destination to aim for (i.e. aligned with societal requirements), a way to assess and guide #progress toward it (i.e. a management tool) and a way to communicate what they’re doing – and why – in a credible, concise, comparable way (i.e. a reporting tool). The Benchmark comprises of 23 Break-even goals that mark the line in the sand that every business needs to reach to ensure it is not slowing down progress on the SDGs. It also outlines 24 Positive Pursuits that show businesses how they can help others avoid their own negative impacts. You can find more information here: https://lnkd.in/gxXf-ask It is still possible to #MoveTheDate of the Overshoot Day by focusing on opportunities in various areas like Energy, Food, Population, Cities and Planet. For example, cutting global CO2 #emissions from fossil fuels by 50% would #MoveTheDate by three months. This requires radical collaboration. https://lnkd.in/d4yv5Jwv What is your organisation's biggest impact on the planet and what are they doing about it?
