      <h1 data-heading="Our name">What is overbrowsing?</h1>
      <p>The term 'browsing' originates from herbivores feeding, and similarly, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browsing_(herbivory)#Overbrowsing" target="_blank">'overbrowsing' in nature occurs when consumption exceeds the capacity of environmental resources.</a> This shared origin parallels the unsustainable excesses of the web, aligning with the group's mission.</p>
