Whew! 11:07:16 From Arokia D to Everyone: yes, I hear 11:07:19 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Captions are also available! To turn on closed captions, locate the "Closed Caption" or "Live Transcript" button in the meeting controls (usually at the bottom of the Zoom window) and click it. If it's not visible, look for a "More" or "..." button, which might be hidden on smaller screens.

Do you have a question? 11:12:52 From Jennifer H to Everyone: I have to leave. Thank you for recording! 11:13:21 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Thanks Jennifer, we will share the recording soon! 11:19:06 From PEter U to Everyone: Wackernagel 2021 (cited as in press) has been published: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-021-00708-4 11:21:44 From Lael G to Everyone: Which are the 5 countries in the bottom quadrant? 11:23:29 From Eunice A to Everyone: But doing things more efficiently is not the same as doing things better, correct? IS the proposed action better for PPL and 11:24:02 From Eunice A to Everyone: the planet's other life? 11:26:16 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: The Power of Possibility: https://overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/power-of-possibility/ 11:26:36 From Marietta M to Everyone: Most people in the USA do not live within their means personally (they live on credit) and are in such poor health from obesity, they are far behind today. How can we expect them to care about their children and the future than they do about their own selves??? 11:28:23 From Marietta M to Everyone: Unless we redesign the way we think and what we EXPECT for NOTHING, we are doomed, no??? 11:29:30 From Peter U to Everyone: www.overshootday.org/power-of-possibility: would be great if the page could add some value to each tile to see what the impact of each action is 11:29:42 From Shannon B to Everyone: How many Earths needed if everyone lived like the average American? 11:30:24 From Dane K to Everyone: MM- If you show how what people do now impacts them now, many do change their actions. (rather than focus on population, focus on how an unplanned pregnancy will impact them 
 $1400/ month, sleep, exhaustion, freedom. 11:30:50 From Lynn L to Everyone: Yes is true. And the Biosystem is our support system. What makes the Biosystem? The Weather? The food? The Biosystem? The other specs that life on earth make these things. They are becoming extinct faster than ever known in history. They cannot be restored, refilled, or replaced. How does that loss fit into your picture of the footprint? It is already happening. Economy is not Ecology. The Biosystem is to a renewable resource. The Journal of Population and Sustainability 8 (1):95-111. https://doi.org/10.3197/JPS.63799953906873. 11:31:01 From Steve W to Everyone: Steve W, Idaho 11:31:02 From Eunice A to Everyone: And we do NOT deal with that mathematical reality of population. 11:31:09 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: If you have any questions for Dr. Lin, drop them in the Q&A box at the bottom of your screen! 11:31:17 From Carrie B to Everyone: Marietta, I wouldn't compare obesity, which is a disease that people do not choose to have, with people not caring about themselves or the planet. :) Lots of people who are not thin do indeed care about themselves and the planet. 11:31:57 From Florence Blondel to Everyone: @Shannon, 5 Earths. 11:32:25 From Allan C to Everyone: We are a Consumer Society. California Fire Insurance and Florida Hurricane Insurance are sending a DIRECT wake up call to consumers. are there direct consumer impacts regarding Food, Transportation etc that will get people's attention? 11:32:38 From Florence Blondel to Everyone: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHJTx_VPKnT/ 11:34:13 From Florence Blondel to Everyone: Check out our Earth Overshoot Day blog.https://populationconnection.org/blog/earth-overshoot-day-2025/ 11:35:53 From Delight W to Hosts and panelists: How much can we reverse the overshoot by doing the things you suggest? Is there an equation? 11:36:18 From Joop D to Everyone: Population: it is not just how many we are, but definitely also how many we are and what do we think ?; What is needed for example is another definition of success: we should learn to appreciate success in a totally different way from how that is defined today(richness with all that comes with it). 11:36:47 From Lynn L to Everyone: We are so far into overshoot asking how many is entirely irrelevant. Why not ask “what is the right thing to do?” And then do it, after enough study to know that you are not doing more harm. 11:36:59 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Yes, Joop!! đŸ‘đŸ» 11:37:40 From Delight W to Hosts and panelists: I am thinking of ways to motivate action. 11:38:08 From Ronald P to Hosts and panelists: What is your view now on the book [1976]LifeBoat Ethics, including Garret Hardin's view of carrying capacity?😕 11:38:39 From Peter U to Everyone: One thing to do is to have fewer babies — which is exactly what a lot of people are panicking about (“we are going extinct”, according to Elon Musk) — but it seems there is no way around to have a smaller population 11:39:19 From Joop D to Everyone: Yes, that is right. There are way too many of our species around. 11:41:48 From Marietta M to Everyone: But we seem to be going in the wrong direction
 11:42:07 From Florence Blondel to Everyone: Here is a great tool to design possible futures. https://www.footprintnetwork.org/resources/footprint-scenario-tool/ and the footprint calculator https://www.footprintcalculator.org/home/en 11:43:03 From Marietta M to Everyone: Eat plants, walk places, buy only what you need and can afford, not what you want
 11:43:23 From Marietta M to Everyone: EXAMPLE=🙂 11:43:36 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: More on how Earth Overshoot Day is calculated: https://overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/2025-calculation/ 11:46:57 From Marietta M to Everyone: Eat plants and tell others how good they are and make you feel, walk places and show them what being 78 can look like, buy only what you need and can afford and show people how much happier it makes you than their being junk they don’t need and can’t afford
 11:47:12 From Eunice A to Everyone: Our context can't really be the planet we want to live in, as we're not going to have that. How much climate stability and biodiversity can we retain? 11:47:39 From Marietta M to Everyone: I am the happiest person I know! 11:48:21 From George N to Everyone: We need to cut waste by 50%. 11:48:22 From Kathryn K to Everyone: During WW2, people sacrificed for the war effort. Can we consider this a kind of necessary effort for survival to protect biodiversity, for example? 11:49:19 From Peter U to Everyone: We all have to make a contribution. For instance, we can live with a high standard of living if there were fewer people (yes — I do have a strict 1-child policy 😂) 11:49:56 From Carol F to Everyone: Need to admit that only a drastic decline in population will help. Noone wants to admit this. 11:51:10 From Marietta M to Everyone: Hi, Carol! I agree with you! I didn’t have children and have a full, rewarding, green life! Our planet might be able to support 2 billion people tops
 maybe
 11:51:53 From Jon L to Everyone: What caused the Overshoot Day to be 8 days earlier this year than last? That sounds like an acceleration. 11:51:55 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Our environmental issues are complex, and our solutions should be comprehensive and multifaceted. A variety of solutions is necessary. 11:52:07 From Marietta M to Everyone: I have many childless friends who are very happy with their lives! I have friends with kids who are stuck, miserable, over-worked and don’t have a way out
 11:54:42 From Joop D to Everyone: As things are now we seem to have accepted (definitely with the US as one of the stronger promotors) that the smaller part is living well and the other half is (has to) living in poverty. Is that really the case ? 11:55:20 From Katherine S to Everyone: I was offering workshops/discussion groups to share ideas on how to live more sustainably (in the US). They weren't as successful as I would have liked, but if there is anyone who wants to work with me on improving or building upon what I was doing, I would like to start them up again - this is VERY important!! 11:56:16 From Marietta M to Everyone: I’m happy and I’m not rich. I don’t have a financial portfolio, but I have a roof over my head, a lovely part time job, and a loving dog. What more is there that matters? 11:57:26 From Florence Blondel to Everyone: Here it is ,,,https://overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/newsroom/press-release-june-2025-english/ 11:58:48 From Florence Blondel to Everyone: "One major revision this year was a downward adjustment of the ocean’s carbon sequestration capacity. This, along with a slightly higher per capita Footprint and slightly lower per capita biocapacity, shifted Earth Overshoot Day eight days earlier than in 2024. Seven of these eight days are due to the data revisions." 11:59:02 From Joop D to Everyone: We need better arguments and more convincing. As they say: if to can make peole drink Coca-Cola you can make them drink anything 12:00:27 From Lael G to Everyone: Thank you! 12:00:35 From Tanya K to Everyone: Thank you!
