Earth Overshoot Day?

It seems that as of the 2nd Day of August 2018 we have used more of Earth's resources, dug up, cut down, hunted, grown, watered, eaten and drunk more than can be regenerated over an entire year. 

According to an ABC article saying that this year we have achieved the Earth Overshoot Day in just seven months. 

Oh my goodness! And it appears that Australia is one of the per capita leaders in shortening the length of time to reach Overshoot Day, according to the Global Footprint Network statistics.
