On April 7, Austria celebrates Austiran Overshoot Day. On this day, all the country’s resources have already been used up for the entire year. Everyone can ensure a better CO₂ balance by looking in their own wardrobe. Krone+ shows you how to turn hidden treasures into money and protect the environment at the same time.
Last year it was April 6, this year Austria has improved at least one day on “Austrian Overshoot Day”. Actually two if you count February 29th. But: no reason to be happy. The fact that a year’s worth of resources are used up in just over three months is an environmental catastrophe.
