Global E-missions / E-missions Globales

We have almost arrived at the point of no return, we are in the red and the situation is becoming alarming. After this date, humanity would draw irreversibly from “non-renewable” reserves. No matter how this is calculated and the exact reality of this thesis, we as arstists, muscians, composers, poets question how we act upon our world, what our carbon impact might be, as well as imagining how we could build viables solutions for all.
If we have found, the conscious individual or certain policies, activities as more or less sustainable solutions for ourselves, as singular and being a small part of the population, they are far from solving the problem overall. As long as industry and neo-liberal systems continue their unimpeded march of overconsumption and excessive production, and continue to turn a blind eye to the problems of our self-centered expansion on Earth, disaster may not be averted.
Earth Overshoot Day (EOD), previously known as Ecological Debt Day (EDD), is the calculated illustrative calendar date on which humanity’s resource consumption for the year exceeds Earth’s capacity to regenerate those resources that year. Earth Overshoot Day is calculated by dividing the world biocapacity (the amount of natural resources generated by Earth that year), by the world ecological footprint (humanity’s consumption of Earth’s natural resources for that year), and multiplying by 365, the number of days in one Gregorian common calendar year:

When viewed through an economic perspective, EOD represents the day in which humanity enters an ecological deficit spending. In ecology the term Earth Overshoot Day illustrates the level by which human population overshoots its environment. In 2019, Earth Overshoot Day was on July 29.[2]

In the context of Audioblast, this concept of emission particulary interests us; developing the concept as a globalised E-mission : of course carbon dioxide emissions but also transmissions or Electronic Emissions (E-missions) in connection with these possibilities of transmitting sound of globalised way, sound and the air working together, without air, there is no sound (indeed the sound makes the air that is transmitted to our ear vibrate). So how does this inspire us? Do we feel invested in these issues? How can we address the problem of global emissions, overshoot day, over consumption, resistance, alternative proposals or attempts to provoke political reaction or destabilise the all-powerful and destructive ideological neo-liberal sphere?
