I'm honestly fed up with all the bad and fake news everywhere. I am not a journalist or an influencer, but I want to use my art to spread some positivity.

I wanted to create an almanac of positive as an anti-venom to the vitriolic rhetoric that pervades our media. That's why I want to share some of this year's positive news from around the world in the hope that it brings you some happiness and inspires you to spread some good news yourself!

Art, technology, food, science, animal rights, human rights... we have progressed in so many categories, and it's necessary to let the world know that, despite having much more to do, we've accomplished some amazing things in 2018. So although it is hard - stay positive.

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.

    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.

    Honestly.... I'm a human (I guess) and I get upset too. Not if I'm given visual context, or if I know in advance there will be fireworks, then I don't mind. But to suddenly hear those explosions from afar.... It can trully trigger some kind of.... Not really anxiety, but something similar that brings your brain in a "caution mode", or something like that.

    6 years ago (edited) Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    It's only natural. The sounds are similar to sounds of gunfire, car explosions, gas explosions, bomb explosions, mine explosions, electric appliances explosions, smartphone explosions, electric cigaret explosions... and even those who never experienced any of them themselves know (or think they know) the sounds from movies, TV shows, documentaries and/or news. Firework explosions and firecracker explosions are still explosions so if the brain doesn't expect harmless explosions at that moment, it automatically assumes danger and triggers protective instincts or fight or flight instinct. That's my theory anyway.

    It's not exacty what it claims to be: From Fact Check: "Many readers seemed to come away with the impression that these “silent fireworks” would appear just as big and bright as traditional fireworks, but without the loud explosive booms normally associated with them. That’s not the case, however: No matter how advanced pyrotechnicians may be at developing fireworks, they haven’t quite yet figured out a way to remove noise from these large explosions." Probably because they create vibrations. The vibrations go into the ear canal, vibrate the ear drum and the vibrations become sound. It's physiological.

    We NEED that in my town. There are many dogs in the area and my neighbors love their fireworks and firecrackers. When they decide have a firework show (at the middle of the night, randomly at some point in the week) all the dogs in the neighborhood start howling and my dog starts crying. Other people can never get sleep. Also, I am not pretty sure fireworks are legal in my area.

    They're not 100% silent, they're just designed to be as silent as possible, as opposed to the regular ones that are actually designed to be super loud since that was part of the show. Over here, people fire rockets that don't even have visuals - they're meant only to be loud.

    Which town? It is also noteworthy that more and more towns in Italy have restricted the use of cars drastically. For example, I used to live in Siena and driving there was next to impossible. You needed a special (and costly) licence to do so. Result: the air of town centers is very clean and walking is much less stressful. Perfect!

    Normal fireworks should be prohibited other than on named days such as Bonfire night and New years Eve or specified events so that pet owners can be forewarned and take precautions. They should be banned from sale to the general public to let off whenever they feel like it.

    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.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    Yes, but this is worded a bit poorly, imo. I mean, are they drinking less, or are other countries actually just worse than them now?

    Burning Coal to produce the electricity to power electric vehicles, produces more emissions than a gas powered vehicle.

    Yeah, and, to no-one's surprise, closely followed by Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand and Sweden. I was initially shocked to see Sweden so low on the list, but when I saw the actual figures, I realised these countries are statistically so close together, that they'll just keep rotating for the No.1 spot for the foreseeable future. Or, of course, you can take Fox News' word for it that these are in fact hell-holes where Muslim refugees rape anything in sight and where Sharia law will be introduced any day now...

    Just walk around Chicago and you'll see what a great system it is! It's been there for years and it's so great to see so many bikers!
