Nature’s Warning: Overshoot and Water Crisis | Burlington News

Vermont’s farmers are reeling from two years of catastrophic floods and a brutal drought that cost over $15 million, with flood damage adding tens of millions more—nature’s stark warning that we’ve exceeded planetary limits.

Earth Overshoot Day landed on July 30th this year—meaning we’ve already consumed all the resources Earth can regenerate in a year, borrowing from the future and piling on waste the planet can’t handle. Breaking free from old habits is tough, but survival demands a radical shift: economies focused on resilience, local economies, and living within ecological means—including rethinking population growth.
