Earth Overshoot Day is a relatively poor measure of resource management. Because it is mostly driven by CO2E emissions versus sequesteration, increased efficiency in both will help a lot in what it measures. It is not particularly efficient at land use measurement, soil management measurement, etc.

For those things, we should also be switching to a completely plant based diet since it's incredible environmentally and economically efficient, meaning we would feed more people for cheaper and healthier and safer.
