      Honestly. I don't know why, but if I let youtube autoplay, even if I start over again, clear my subs/history/search/cache, each account was force fed terrible news or drama. It's more than exhausting 🫠

      The funding is provided as a grant to support the winners in furthering their research and education, not to give the funders ownership of the idea so hope that helps clear that up! I agree $50,000 would be crazy low.

      This, I feel so, so, SO grateful for the rainy weather here in BC while most of Canada is having a heatwave. I remember the heatdome we had when my toddler was a 6mo baby, it was over 40c inside and we didn't have an air conditioner, on the day over 43c inside we had to go to stay at my grandmother's house because I was legit afraid my baby was in danger. I am sorry for those in Ontario right now. I hope that it galvinizes some people into climate activism to give us more good news!

      when asked if we should stop greenland melting (we can) the idiot researcher who was paid to research this said "we shouldn't play god" and that the "lives" of the algae that have been spread over greenland's ice sheet has value, and we shouldn't kill this algae to save ourselves.

There are so many people who care and want to make a positive impact though, and their stories aren’t amplified enough, and I hope this can be a reminder of the good out there. Take care of yourself, remember to reach out to your friends and family if you need that extra support here and there and know that you’re not alone 🙏🏼

All these good changes seem small in comparison to all the bad that's gone before but being small has its benefits: firstly, the Big Bads ignore it *_because_* its small and seems insignificant, which gives the Small time to gain momentum; and secondly, *_never forget that small things grow_* . Small drops of water wore away the Grand Canyon. Small seeds grow into immense redwoods. One individual can start a movement that lasts thousands of years and impacts billions, like Jesus.

    You continue to do an absolutely incredible, wonderful service for people worried about our world today. TWENTY of this kind of news?? Your videos always seem to come around when I'm most worried, and it gives me hope again. If we keep this up, we can save the world ♥ thank you so much.

    I'm late but still gonna comment for the algorithm, because this is the kinda news that needs to be put out to balance the bad. This single video has, in a significant way, improved my mental health. Which I can't say about most youtube videos. Thank you.

    I just subscribed after your last story... the indigenous group buying acres of ex canefarm wasteland and replanting it in endangered lowland rf species... ❤❤❤ yay!
    Ive been a part of a buyback scheme to save the rainforest residential blocks from development.... 30 saved so far and seeing this great initiative from a different group lifted my heart.

    "Perseverance is impossible if we do not permit ourselves to hope." -Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
    I went to my first pride event yesterday, and reconnected with an old school friend ^-^ I wish we had clouds here in the Pacific Northwest but it's shaping up to be another drought season. We did get a lovely thunderstorm a few days ago, though. So glad to see that conservation efforts and attempts to reverse climate change are indeed working.

    Thank you so so much for creating this content.
    I've been really struggling lately
    With pretty much the only thing I'm holding on to is the hopes to go clean up the trash on Albatross island. It tears at me night and day. And As least this way my life would matter in some way
    Just to see there are so so many other who care for the planet in ways that truly matter has given me so much more hope and belief that I, too could make a difference
    I can't tell you enough how much seeing this matters to me.
    Thank you for making this and thank you to everyone who is doing these things ❤❤❤❤

    I'm so happy to have found this channel. For my mental health I have been trying to curate the doom and gloom out of what I see online and its so difficult because the algorithms for my social media feeds keep throwing more and more negativity at me. Its fantastic to find a channel like this that makes it easier to find the good news.
