Every year our amazing planet Earth is able to regenerate a huge amount of environmental resources used up by humans, including water, soil, and clean air.
每年，我们伟大的地球都能重新生产出大量人类需要的环境资源，比如水、土壤和洁净的空气。
But in the past few decades, we've been using an increased amount of these resources, which is why environmental groups began calculating the day each year on which we go over our limit and essentially begin living on credit. Since the calculations officially began in 1986, the milestone has been arriving earlier and earlier each year. This year we will have used up Earth's resources by August 2nd.
但是在过去的几十年中，我们消耗的资源越来越多，所以环保组织开始计算人类在每年的哪一天超过资源使用限度并开始欠债。这项统计自1986年开始，资源耗尽的这一天每年都在提前。今年我们将在8月2号用尽地球的资源。
