"If it bleeds, it leads." Most headlines show us terrible events. And yes, we must work harder than ever to save our planet and to combat injustice and cruelty and authoritarian governments.
But cheer up, Friends! There are a whole lot of wonderful happenings on our planet that never make the headlines!
For instance, a modified kind of algae has been developed that can remove microplastics from water almost like a magnet!
Last year a huge number of damns were taken down in the USA, connecting more rivers than ever before!
Death from coronary artery disease in the USA has been curt in half since 1990!
Yes, there is war in Ethiopia--BUT over the past seven years, that country has planted forty-seven BILLION seedlings, with most of them surviving! The video below notes more areas planting trees!
Over in the past two years, nations have put protections on ocean areas larger than the entire European Union!
And, while wildfires have tragically been increasing in Europe, Australia, and the USA, believe it or not, the number of wildfires across the globe has actually been decreasing! https://www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-environment/article/global-burning-has-declined-despite-more-wildfires/
Here is a video of some of the other wonderful things that have happened on our planet this year! (It's not our video, so many apologies for the robotic AI narration.)
