Earth's history has known five great mass extinctions. The sixth is in progress and this time, it is the man who is the cause. What is the impact of our way of life and consumption on the environment? What are the avenues for a more sustainable use of natural resources? How to protect biodiversity in order to regain an ecological balance?

This week, Luxembourg arrived at Overshoot Day - the day of the year when a country depletes the last of its unreplenishable resources for the year - faster than any country in the world (apart from Quatar). A new exhibition at the Natural History Museum of Luxembourg explores the avenues that Luxembourg can take to achieve a more sustainable and greener future. For Culture Matters, Ben George Coles interviews curator of the exhibition Monique Kirsch.
