If the planet consumed like Portugal, resources for this year would end on Saturday
Global Footprint Network says that there is much worse than Portugal, which started spending resources as early as February, but there are other countries that are not playing until the end of the year
The planet would be left from Saturday and all the inhabitants without resources for an international life like a Portuguese average, indicate the data on the national ecological calculations of the organization Global Footprint Network.
According to living resources, if as people of Earth, 2.5 planets are needed for every need for life necessities. They show that the productive area available for resources and recipients at the world level runs out on Saturday, given that the planet would live “a”.
The environmentalist association Zero, a partner of the Global Footprint Network, says in a statement released today that “Portugal activates the environmental credit card earlier and earlier”, remembering that it started using natural resources in 2021 that should only be used in 2023. a week later, on the 13th of May.
“Portuguese for many years, deficient in its ability to supply the natural resources available to activities (production and consumption to activities). The most worrying environmental thing is that ‘Portuguese debt has been increasing’, says the Portuguese association in the statement.
According to the Global Footprint Network, which calculates the ecological footprint of almost every country in the world, there are countries that are much worse than Portugal, which started a feature in February, but there are other futures that they will barely touch until the end of the year. .
The ecological footprint as human needs for renewable resources and essential services and compares them to the Earth’s ability to provide these resources and services.
If all the inhabitants would make the inhabitants clean since February 10th (December 10th), once all ecological resources were taken to Qatar, like all ecological resources for February inhabitants (February 10th), but on the other hand, they would only finish off the Jamaicans 20 .
On the country map, Portugal appears to run out of resources on May 7, just one day after Japan, and before countries like Spain, Switzerland or the United Kingdom.
In Zero’s view, the country can reverse the situation used by the Recovery and Resilience Program funds, and adopting new policies and practices to reduce the impacts of what is produced and consumed.
“Food consumption (32% of the country’s global footprint) and mobility (18%) are among the daily activities that most contribute to Portugal’s Ecological Footprint”, says Zero in the statement, in which the company suggests it. suggests a more sustainable agriculture and a reduction in travel, taking more advantage of teleworking and virtual formats.
Investment in smooth mobility, such as the bicycle and consumer products are other proposals by Zero, which suggests in individual practices, a reduction in animal protein, privileging public audiences.
