We are often bombarded with fear-mongering and shocking headlines that make us feel that the world is falling apart.

However, while it’s important to report on problems and issues, I believe there is so much good in this world that it needs to be found and promoted just as widely.

Because of that, I started The Happy Broadcast. It's an anti-venom to the vitriolic rhetoric that pervades our media. Also, this year, I’ve illustrated even more happy news than in 2018.

We need more positive news to acknowledge that the world is actually getting better little by little.

More info: Instagram

When I'm working on The Happy Broadcast, I try to pick news that has an international appeal and touches themes like animal rights, climate change and science. News that shows how much we’re progressing on many fronts despite being often bombarded with few-mongering headlines.

I am so happy for their victory, but just find it bonkers that an indigenous tribe had to fight a legal battle to protect their land in the first place.

I think there are many reasons why negative news is dominating the media. It's like a sudden disaster a, it's more compelling than, for example, little improvements. Bad things can happen quickly, but good things aren’t built in a day, and as they unfold, they're out of sync with the news cycle.

Unfortunately, probably not as positive as one might hope: Instead they're going to Drill for oil in the Great Australian Bight, and Australia is going to pay for it whilst the Norwegians keep the profit. Note that 85% of Great Australian Bight marine life is found nowhere else on earth.

Every single car, every single factory, every single building, every single house. And to do that, governments have to show and implement the political will and courage they currently are not showing Otherwise, you'll have to broadcast your happy news from some refuge surrounded by the tides of rising sea level.

From fortune: This year, Norway is forecast to drill 130 wells—an uptick of 16% compared to 2018—with 55 of those wells for "exploration drilling", or drilling for fresh sources of oil, according to Rystad Energy, an Oslo-based consultancy. They just drill near our shores.

That's silly. In every state where there is reasonable democracy (so not the US, but definitely Norway), oil extraction has proven over and over it CAN be a way of sustaining the local community more environmentally friendly than most other. It's just that usually governments are just as greedy as oil companies and are fine with suppressing the locals' concerns with police violence.

As humans, we have this thing called “negative bias” that make us respond quicker to bad or dangerous situations. Nowadays, this bias is getting in the way of our happiness and well-being, and even our productivity because most of the narrative surrounding us (print, online or mobile) is that the “world is ending".

I think we should find a balance between negative and positive news. From politics to climate change and economy, negative and bad news surrounds us everywhere we go. A potential solution could be to limit the amount of bad news, basically slow down our personal news cycle, adding some positive news to our “news diet” to make sure that our outlook on the world is more optimistic. Also, it's very important to invest time to deal with misinformation and the reliability of news sources.

If you have more skill in the task, you get paid more, if you have less you get paid less. Plain and simple (yet I know it is more difficult to prove wrong-doing that way too)

This is definitely a good thing, but be careful to remember that fortnite is known for an especially toxic crunch culture. Employees are expected to work insane hours with no pay. Planting forests is good, but he should also be held responsible for the unfair and harmful working conditions his company creates.

The rabid, right-wingers still spewing their nonsense that renewables will drive prices up so high no one will be able to have electricity will not be noticing this development. The belief disconfirmation paradigm is too powerful for some people to overcome.

Glad to see them come back. Sad that they died out there in the first place.

Ironic to place greenery on the exact place where ice and snow should be.

This is nice, but it would be better if children being educated wasn’t contingent on their parents paying any sort of fee.

Maybe so but what research has been made to find out the effects seaweed has on the cows body. We already know that corn isn’t very good for them yet they are still fed a high corn diet in some countries (US particularly).

Although the use of solar panels is green, many solar panel manufacturing processes are not. To create a solar panel, caustic materials will emit greenhouse gases. Plus less than 11% of each panel has salvageable metals so they're not very recyclable once they're usable life has expired. Most people aren't aware that the 'green' alternatives often aren't.
