I’m Honestly Fed Up With All The Bad News So I Illustrated The Best News Of 2018 (And Recent Years)

This is great. Here in Brazil, supermarkets and restaurants avoid donating food even when they actually wanted to because the food donated continues to be the donor's responsibility, so if, for example, it' poorly transported or stored and goes bad and someone eats it and gets sick, it's your store that will get in trouble even if it was fine when you donated, so they're all scared of donating.

The name of the Brewery is Saltwater Brewery. All of the rings are made out of the barley and grains used in the brewing process. So they are completely edible by humans and sea creatures.

France is on a good way!

Yes! I hate the argument that "sanitary products are a luxury." They are not, do you want blood all over your pants? All over your house?

This made me so happy.

This is amazing

That is incredible!

YES! Dogs are friends, not food.

Taken long enough! I was so happy when Covergirl became cruelty free. I love wearing makeup and stuff, but so many of the big brands still test on animals.

I have mixed feelings about pandas.... because people mostly only care about protecting "cute" animals like them. I've read and watched so many times about how "ugly" animals like bugs and amphibians are always getting worse off because all the conservation funds and efforts go towards the ones the public likes... But I guess helping some animals is still better than no animals.

That's the cutest boob I have ever seen

huh in Poland several cities decided to ban fireworks on new year because of animals.

We banned it also in Romania!

yeah… it's a small step… much more are needed

If more people would recycle plastic, that would be a good start. I'm appalled at all the trash I see thrown away, that could have been recycled. And not just plastic. My son and I were discussing today the problem of plastic straws. Why couldn't they be made of a fast-degrading material, or even paper? They are only going to be used one time, and can end up in the sea or landfills, taking who knows how long to degrade.

More farmers are keeping bees to benefit crop production, or are allowing beekeepers to keep hives on their property.

Serious question, does that sugar tax include high fructose corn syrup? If not, it should. Sodas were unhealthy before, but when soft drink companies switched to HFCS they became even worse.

I stopped drinking all soft drinks about 4 months ago. One of the best decisions ever! I like carbonation, so I now drink carbonated water. Totally sugar and guilt free!

It has always amazed me how many people refuse to drink plain water! Even as a kid I never liked soda.

Hate to be negative but the decrease in sales for soda is likely linked to people increasing their use of plastic water bottles. More people are reaching for water rather than soda, which is awesome! But, the consumption of plastic bottles has increased over the past decade, resulting in extreme amounts of plastic pollution.

And coffee sales have most likely increased to replace sodas

And yet you can still get drunk and drive and die from alcoholism.

Sugar taxes......WOW!

That seems incorrect based on looking around

YES!

Sugar taxes affect under 1% of Americans

Americans are so stuck on being healthy. I am born and raised in America and am 64 and drank soft drinks back in the fifties and I am doing just fine. I quit recently because they taste so bad. Leave things alone. I made it and feel just fine.

The main function of today prisons is to transform problematic people into professional criminals, the whole concept need to be reworked IMHO

Ugh, doesn't it disgust people to know that their comfort comes from something ripped off of something else's body?

This is adorable!

we need to make ocean plastic profitable, if companies start using it and poor people can harvest it and sell it , it is a win win. Stop creating plastic,reuse.

A simple act can really save lives ♥

This is good, correct? The crying is confusing. He should be small and happy.

Unfortunately, E-Cigarette smoking is on the rise, especially among teens due to the flavors that comes in them that teens like :(

That is the largest inheritance of a single person I've EVER heard of.

I hope that that is true..

I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my 40s. It's really hard to detect in girls for the simple reason that all the emphasis is placed on boys' symptoms. It's the same with heart attacks. Everybody knows about classic male symptoms. Fewer people know how differently it presents in women.

@Jeff: I so agree. In almost every case of school shootings, and other mass shootings, the shooter had significant mental health issues. Often, they had stopped getting treatment, stopped taking their meds, etc. Mass shootings are as much a mental health issue, as a gun control issue.

I just hope this is an actual fact... Because I know that here we have a very fake literacy rate made out of people who can pretty much only write their own names and maybe a few words but are already considered literate for statistic purposes.

They've done a great job of slowing their population growth by giving out free condoms

I got metal re-usable ones for my family! They're only about 5-7 bucks and usually come with a carrying sleeve and a pipe cleaner.

Goats are the true GOAT (get it)

Tbh it's kind of unfair that solar power is currently such a niche product, and easy, affordable solar panels for people to buy would really make a difference

And they do it using a mixture of mud and vegetation..so it's environmentally conscious too.

It is like turning metal into gold...

Good news from a purely ecological point of view. Bad news for the people who make a living in the coal-mining industry. Ironically, it's exactly today that the last coal-mine in my area closes, leaving many unemployed. Maybe someone should finance projects that help these people get new jobs.

Give peace a chance
