Cosmonautics. Eat your planet. (2017)

For half a century we have been consuming more resources than the planet has time to recreate them, and this is fresh water, oxygen, animal and plant life.

Every year environmentalists report on the so-called "Ecological Debt Day", when the required annual resources are spent much faster.

In 2017, humanity had enough annual resources for only 8 months, and we again became debtors to the Earth.

Do Earthlings have a spare planet?

According to scientists, in order for humanity to no longer live in debt, at least two planets of the Earth are needed, but there is nowhere to take the second planet.

Moreover, today we are not even ready to master our native Solar System.

Scientists Yuri Mazurov, Alexander Tutukov, Vyacheslav Shevchenko, Vladimir Surdin, Arkady Tishkov talk about the need to live reasonably and take care of what we have.
