Every small step matters when it comes to saving our planet. The global carbon footprint per person per year is 4 tons, but sadly, we Americans average around 16 tons! Let's commit to making a change and reducing our carbon footprint for a greener future. Together, we can make a difference! #SaveThePlanet #EarthDay EARTHDAY.ORG

Today, we have reached the point where humanity's demand for resources exceeds what our planet can replenish in a year. The trend of overshoot reduction has flattened over the past five years, and it's hard to determine if it's due to economic slowdown or deliberate decarbonization efforts. Regardless, we need to accelerate our efforts. The UN's IPCC target of reducing global carbon emissions by 43% compared to 2010 by 2030 requires moving Earth Overshoot Day by 19 days annually for the next seven years. 🌱🌎 Earth Overshoot Day serves as a critical reminder that our consumption patterns are surpassing the Earth's capacity to sustain them. The Global Footprint Network calculates this date based on Earth's biocapacity and humanity's consumption. By analyzing the latest National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts, they determine the "gap" between the present time and reporting procedures. 📊 It's crucial that we all take action to #MoveTheDate and reduce our ecological footprint. Small changes can make a significant difference. Let's embrace sustainable practices, support renewable energy, reduce waste, and make conscious choices in our daily lives. Together, we can create a healthier and more sustainable future for our planet. 🌱💚 #EarthOvershootDay #SustainabilityMatters #LillyCapital #ImpactInvestment #ImpactInvestmentSwitzerland #Values #ForwardThinking #NewVenture #LillyCapitalSwitzerland #InvestingInAPositiveImpact #EarlyStageStartups #Innovation #InvestInInnovation #InnovativeStartups #CreateTheFuture

We have been working with Positive Planet for two years to develop a five year reduction plan that we are committed to. It is not easy with current rising costs and massive strains on operations to do this, but it is high on our priorities to keep to the plan and to support our industry to reduce emissions and impact on the planet. #eventproduction #reduceemissions #positiveimpact

From today until the end of the year, we’re in ecological debt to the planet. Earth Overshoot Day marks the day humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. In other words, we’ve used up all of nature’s resources already for 2023. Today is a wake-up call: reaching the UN’s IPCC target of reducing carbon emissions 43% by 2030 means moving the date by 19 days every year for the next seven years. In the past year, we moved less than one day. But today also presents an opportunity for collaboration and positive change. There are many ways we can #MoveTheDate significantly: for example, 26 days could be gained by increasing low-carbon electricity sources from 39% to 75%. And halving food waste would help us move the date by 13 days. #EarthOvershootDay #MoveTheDate #Sustainability Thank you to Mats W Lundberg and Lauren Bradley for sharing this important message.

It's Earth Month, but every day is Earth Day! Our founder, Nnenna Hemeson, penned a powerful piece for Rooted Magazine about why we need to move beyond a single Earth Day. We can't wait for change, we need to make sustainable choices every day! Nnenna dives into 3 key Sustainable Development Goals and the challenges we face: 🌍 Affordable Clean Energy: How can we ensure everyone has access to renewable energy when fossil fuels are still dominant? 🌍 Responsible Production & Consumption: Haven't brands and advertising done enough in fuelling overconsumption, leading to unmanageable waste, making sustainability harder? 🌍 Climate Action: The cost-of-living crisis can't overshadow climate action because they are closely linked. Rising temperatures threaten our food supply, which will only drive costs up! Head over to read the full Rooted Magazine article! https://lnkd.in/dwxysfKq #WorldEarthMonth #Sustainability #RootedMagazine #echichemovement #earthday #climateaction #climatechange #SDGs #cleanenergy #consumption

Earth Day holds a profound significance for me. It's a moment to pause and reflect on the state of our planet, to acknowledge the challenges we face, and to renew our commitment to protecting the Earth for future generations. This year's theme is centered around ‘Planet vs Plastics’ and it underscores the urgent need for collective action to address various environmental issues. Whether it's combating climate change, reducing carbon footprint, or promoting renewable energy, this theme is a sound reminder for everyone to innovate and implement solutions that prioritise the health of our planet. From designing eco-friendly technologies to advocating for policy changes, every effort counts in our shared mission to build a more sustainable and resilient world. #EarthDay2024

Today marks Earth Overshoot Day, the day where we have already consumed a year’s worth of the Earth’s resources 🌍 Although this year’s date is five days later, we must do significantly more to reverse the trend. In fact, to reach the UN’s IPCC target of reducing carbon emissions by 43% below 2010 levels by 2030 would require moving Earth Overshoot Day 19 days annually for the next seven years. What action are we taking? Find out more about our sustainability strategy, For a Better World, and how we’re helping to build a better planet by 2030 👇 https://lnkd.in/eMA4hHXQ Global Footprint Network #OvershootDay #MoveTheDate #PowerOfPossibility #Sustainability #ForABetterWorld

Happy Earth Day! April 22 is Earth Day, an annual reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability that encourages us to come together for a healthier planet and brighter future. The theme of this year’s Earth Day is Planet vs. Plastics and calls for an end to plastics for the sake of human and planetary health, demanding a 60% reduction in the production of all plastics by 2040. At OpenText, we recognize that the greatest long-term threat we face is climate change, and it must be urgently addressed. Whether its encouraging the end of plastics, striving to eliminate the use of paper, or working diligently to reduce our footprint, we believe that it is essential to dedicate time, resources, and energy to tackle climate change and other environmental issues. #ot4good #earthday
