A Dose Of Good News

Looking for a dose of good news or something positive? Sam Bentley, a climate activist, has put together a video that highlights some of the stories showing positive action to protect the environment and address climate change.

This uplifting video helps remind us that many people are working on opportunities to help with energy transition, wildlife conservation, government policy and advertising practices, just to name just a few.

Champions Of The Earth

There is a lot about climate change that can make us feel helpless. It can be helpful to hear about who are working towards innovative, positive solutions to make our planet a healthier place.

The United Nations Environment  Programme (UNEP) has a recognition program called Champions of the Earth. As the UNEP describes, it is a program that “honors individuals, groups and organizations whose actions have a transformative impact on the environment. The annual Champions of the Earth award is the UN’s highest environmental honor.”

The theme for the 2023 award is ending plastic pollution and recipients are recognized for their work in one of four categories:

  • Policy leadership
  • Inspiration and action
  • Entrepreneurial vision 
  • Science and innovation
