July 29th 2021, marked World Overshoot Day, the date each year in which we have used up as much natural resource as the Earth can regenerate in one year. This date is a rather stark and clear-cut view on our overconsumption of the resources Earth provides. We are borrowing from the future. As with your bank overdraft, that debt will come knocking.

Yesterday was one of the most pivotal days in the climate battle. Shell, Chevron and Exxon all faced repercussions of their actions with shareholders and courts all giving them a kick to make drastic changes. It could be one of the most important days in the fight against the Oil and Gas Industry…

‘Right to Repair’ is an important part of a transition towards a more circular future. Remember that time when you dropped your iPhone and arrghhh, the screen has cracked.

Thanks for stopping by!
