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 🫠
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!
I’m 80 years old and I’m so encouraged by the work you do and the generations coming up who are helping to save our eco system and wildlife. I won’t be on the planet much longer, but I’ll die happy. Bless you for all you do. 👵🏼❤️🙏😇
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.
Wow! Your videos should be mandatory at every school, starting in early grades up through high school and even college. If young brains can embrace this kind of good news and ideas for a career, instead of what the "regular news" features, our entire society would begin a positive change.
Since you mentioned Portugal - conservation efforts by Portugal and Spain in the last 20 years have seen the iberian lynx population increase 10x, the species has now been moved out of the "at risk" category into the "vulnerable" category :)
Is it okay if I ask what the difference between "at risk" and "vulnerable" are? When I read it, it sounds like "at risk" is worse than "vulnerable" but I may be wrong in my interpretation of it. I just want to make sure that my interpretation of what you're saying is correct.
I teared up at that part, and it surprised me. I'm Portuguese-American by blood, no real ties to the culture, but we were brought up to be proud of it. I'm so happy!
i am 15 and have struggled with depression since i was around 7 , i recently discovered your videos and they make me feel a bit better ! i hope u do well & continue to spread positivity to others
I did not have depression, but this shadow is truly a gift. Diamond among depressing channels, I’ve never been so grateful to you to algorithm until today.
The most important thing an individual can do is... to not just be an individual. Vote, join organizations, find ways to stand up and be counted that make sense to you.
yes, it helps destroy the planet. good for you all. we know why greenland is melting, and it's nothing to do with the 6% of CO2 emissions that are human attributable. 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. i hope you're all happy
Dang. You know what? I needed this. After a slew and sloppage of bad news by greedy people, it's good to hear that there are millions of people working hard to help the world.
So a while ago I tried looking for a 'good news' item to post up every day for a week from the BBC onto my Facebook site. I failed miserably with just two! So now I'm sharing this link every month instead. Please keep going Sam - you are reminding us that there are some brilliant humans out there.
@@maniaclaugh unfortunately true. Only the most dramatic pessimistic world dooming point of view would be able to sell. I hate media, but can’t blame since they all work for money not life quality.
Thank you for these videos sam, i'm in my mid twenties suffering from anxiety and intrusive thoughts and hearing tragedies every day about the state of this world( especially animal suffering) has given me deep pain and sorrow for many years, so much that i see no hope for the future and feel so powerless that i sometimes think it's not worth staying here anymore. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for reminding me that there are people that care and continue to care.
Hey, thank you for sharing. One of the main reasons I make these videos is to add balance to the onslaught of terrible news that’s thrown at us that is completely overwhelming, so it’s completely understandable to feel anxious or out of control. 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 🙏🏼
Thank you for your words, you are kind. And thank you so much for your work, it is wonderful and it's obvious how much passion, effort and research you put into your videos and editing. You inspired me to see the good around me. I hope for you some sunny days. Thank you from Italy
You're like the neutral good version of John Oliver. Both raising awareness about the world's problems, but with very different methods. I appreciate you both! Thanks for the stories and the recommendations.
@@legitplayin6977 But that's the trick, don't you know.... 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. So don't discount the Small, my friend 🙂
I currently work in air quality and I've been a public health communicator since 2005 - there's a lot of rough news in my line of work, especially around this time of year. I find highlighting good news in this field to be extremely helpful in keeping up morale and being aware of the bigger picture. Please keep up the good work.
Once again, thank you so much. I always think, "Meh, it's just a 10- or 12-minute video, what difference could it possibly make?" only to be blown away by the uplift I feel when seeing so many make significant positive changes and innovations in so many places around the world! Thank you for shining a light on all the good news😀!
Thank you for the good news Sam. Having moved back to the UK last year, after 23 years living closer to the equator, the long months of grey skies have been really depressing. The sun is shining today so there's hope for summer at last.
I absolutely adore these stories they fill me up with hope, hearing everything everyone is doing to make our world a better place... We love you world, we've got your back xxx
Love your uplifting posts! Not sure if I missed it, but did you mention the amazing 'Restore Nature March' in the UK this weekend? Although hardly covered by mainstream media for some reason, over 80,000 people from environmental & wildlife groups marched in a call to save Nature (& hopefully raise awareness for the absolute need for political policies to start seriously tackling the climate crisis). Thank you for all you do in showing us there is still so much hope & positivity in our world 💚💚💚
I'm 68 and hoping I live long enough to see the world improve. My biggest concern is that Trump becomes president and reverses all the Green innovations that Biden has started. If you're watching in the USA, please vote blue. 🌊🗳
But you would be okay with a senile president and another 8 million illegals? I live in Florida and all the people from the wonderful blue states are getting the hell out of Dodge and coming here. The whole country is unhappy and you say vote blue?? ARE YOU NUTS?
hey look, the US is just one country and these are issues that'll be more important as things go on. the system will have to change, and if ye fall behind a little bit, at least there'll be a lot of quick technology you can access when the tide shifts again over there.
I'm just about to become 70, and I have been finding life uphill and lacking in hope. Your channel of good news is helping me feel hopeful again. Thank you.
Hail and Well Met, the EU and UK environmental repair/rewild/rehab is there best news on my calendar. We've already geoengineered by accident, to do it deliberately is our only path forward!
Thank you for making these videos! I shared the news from one of your videos with my students to give them hope and inspiration. Positive change is possible with teamwork, determination, and long-term support. I need these videos to remind me of that, especially when good news like this can be hard to find. Also, I loved the last piece of news; partnering with indigenous communities is one of the best ways (THE best, in my opinion) to heal the land and restore biodiversity
Didn't realise how much I needed to hear some positive news! Really thankful I got recommended this randomly. Can't wait for the next video, and thank you ♡
There's more than a glimpse of hope in your videos, there's the perception that there are people who will not fall for the big polluters and big predators lies and will always resist the madness of senseless destruction fuelled by the humongous egos of those involved and their endemic moral and financial corruption. I'm nearing 59 y.o and since I was a child I hear about burning the Amazon forest for pastures. Governments start and finish, people and federal institutions come and go and it never stops. Brazil is a shame! (I'm Brazilian). But we will resist, regardless. Always!. Thank you so much for your videos.
It’s always nice hearing good news like this. Most media sources only focus on bad news, which makes it seem like everything is going to s***. But it’s not, and these people are making important progress in the right direction
"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.
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.
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.
Thank you for making the world a better place by spreading hope and joy instead of hatred and fear. The fact that you make these videos is a good news story itself!
I really hate how it took a TH-camr like yourself to spread positivity around the internet when it is desperately needed. I truly respect your work and I hope this channel grows because of it. Thank you!
I only just found your channel and I'm sobbing, I can't remember the last time I had heard some good news like this. Thank you so much, you've got yourself a new subscriber
Subscribing to this channel was one of the best decisions I've ever made regarding my internet use. It's so easy to get caught in doom scrolling loops, but this actually brings some hope into the world. Thanks for your hard work!
I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. It's a nice change to see positive news and happenings, and with you smiling through the whole video, you're a joy to watch
I’m glad I found this channel just now. These days most people who do news seem to only be concerned with the bad things and, while I think understanding some of the bad stuff is important, I’ve long thought that getting an over abundance of stuff that portrays the world as being this horrible place that’s falling apart is bad for one’s mental health. Finding this video here was a nice break. I literally searched “happy news” on TH-cam and this video was the first result. I’ll be sure to keep up with this channel now!
I just shared this with 14 other people, because I think everyone deserves some good news every once in a while. We get so bombarded with stuff that is bad, that you can really loose hope, but this has restored some faith in humanity
Europe and the UK will get a massive heat wave next week, don't you worry my friend lol. I actually prefer gray weather over summer weather, but that may be me.
IDK, where I live the weather forecast for next week is alternating cloudy-but-dry, with rainstorms. I also prefer gray weather over a heat wave, but it has been gray and raining here for over 3 months now, even I get itchy to get some sun (and get the bike out).
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 ❤❤❤❤
Sorry the weather there has you down. Hope you have better days. Here in the southern US I'm grateful for the clouds because they'e a break from the dangerous heat. Yesterday we went fishing in the bay. That means getting up hours before dawn to get ready ang get launched by daybreak to beat the sun. By 10 am I was weak and dizzy and my hands wouldn't work, even with the iced cooling towels, so we headed back home. When I was a kid we could stay out all day in the summer. Gaia is sick, and it hurts my heart. We need to help her get better.❤
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.
Ever since covid it seems that there is so much bad news, it;s all you ever hear. It can be quite depressing ...so thank you Sam you're a breath of positivity.
So glad your channel got recommended to me. Had a few conversations with friends recently about how the internet has just become a place for people to complain so to see someone dedicate themselves to discussing the brighter side of life is a real breath of fresh air. Thank you for spreading joy and positivity in a place seemingly so devoid of it. Definitely earned a sub from me!
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.
This truly helps me to calm down and feel so much better about life. We sometimes forget how great humans can be by all the bad going on right now. Thank you so much for spreading all this information!
I'm on the B-corp team at work and every time you release an episode I always bring it up at our next meeting as a bit if positivity amongst the difficulties; thank you!
I need channels like you to help brighten my days up among the channels full of pessimistic analysis and sarcastic jokes that do nothing but dim me down on a daily basis.
All right, good news is what we need everywhere. Here is another one, we are going to grow 20 million trees in mainly deserted Spain by own force. No public funding no donations, enough of ignorant bystanders, enough of hidden interests in governments. We do also restoring the wild life in Sierra Leone which has being eaten by a starving population. Go on guys and share your positive actions no matter size and subject.

With an algorithm fueled by hate, its nice to see things like this to remind us the world isnt all bad
This reminded me of a quote I read from an amish farmer - "The world is only as crazy as you let it be"
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 🫠
We might be changing the algorithm ❤ it recommended this video to me 🎉
@@moondoggie7478 cause they earn more from outrage, from people being irrational, emotional, and divided
Yes!
Rainy days means no heatwaves, so that is good news too.
This, I feel so, so, SO grateful for the rainy weather here in BC while most of Canada is having a heatwave.

@@purpleghost106 Same thing in the Yukon. I may live at 64 N, but it still can get well above 35c in the summer.
Spoke too soon :/
Till it floods!
yeah but in the uk they consider heatwaves to be like 30 degrees 😅
I’m 80 years old and I’m so encouraged by the work you do and the generations coming up who are helping to save our eco system and wildlife. I won’t be on the planet much longer, but I’ll die happy. Bless you for all you do. 👵🏼❤️🙏😇
The next generations are what give me hope too!
Don't worry you won't die
Cheers for you for finding goodness in the world and for caring about the environment.
Just make sure not to vote for anti-eco friendly presidential candidates!
I'm 65 and feel the same way, Barbara! Sam's videos are full of news that's worth watching!😊
Dude, 50.000 dollars for figuring out how to remove microplastics from water ? They deserve millions wtf
Hope they have a royalties clause.
The problem with Texas, acceptable but still Asian-looking, THAT MEANS CHINA! Roll on the orange bandwagon
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.
@@itsSamBentley No worries brother I know you’re merely passing on information here, it’s always a treat to see your videos :)
Plus I'm pretty sure they would have patent rights
I never comment on youtube. Ever. But I need these updates and I think more people do. So thank you and let's feed the algorythm.
Preach!
Yes
Yeah, I found myself enjoying hearing good news around the world more than I would've thought
The kids are alright! Believe in our youth but still do your own part. Together we win.
The young people coming through give me a lot of hope but like you said, doesn't mean other generations can sit back.
Amen to believing in our youth. All I see is them being stifled and dismissed as being troublemakers.
Amen.
Wow! Your videos should be mandatory at every school, starting in early grades up through high school and even college. If young brains can embrace this kind of good news and ideas for a career, instead of what the "regular news" features, our entire society would begin a positive change.
I agree and like that idea!!
Since you mentioned Portugal - conservation efforts by Portugal and Spain in the last 20 years have seen the iberian lynx population increase 10x, the species has now been moved out of the "at risk" category into the "vulnerable" category :)
Great news👍 Thanks for sharing this.❤️
Yay!!!

Hope it helped out my friend!

First time meeting you. Took me about 2 minutes to subscribe. This is really meaningful work you are doing for humanity 🙏🏼🕊️
I really hate how it took a TH-camr like yourself to spread positivity around the internet when it is desperately needed. I truly respect your work and I hope this channel grows because of it. Thank you!
I get so happy every time I watch your videos, thank you for sharing! ❤
aww that's amazing haha
Thank you, I really needed some good news to lift my spirits.
The nature restoration at the start literally made me cry tears of joy. I needed this video so fucking much.
I only just found your channel and I'm sobbing, I can't remember the last time I had heard some good news like this. Thank you so much, you've got yourself a new subscriber
Glad you’re here my friend!
You help my severe anxiety so much. Thank you 🥺
Hope they can help add some balance to what’s out there!
Good to hear the positives-maybe you need a Daily Channel???
Simon you trying to create more work for me one monthly video is hard enough 😂 I wanna do more often tho for sure!
Subscribing to this channel was one of the best decisions I've ever made regarding my internet use. It's so easy to get caught in doom scrolling loops, but this actually brings some hope into the world. Thanks for your hard work!
You are such a gift to the world! I am so happy you are here and enjoying all the good news.
Thank you for sharing and the recommendations! 🙌🏻 Grateful for this content.
Love this channel. Keep on spreading the good news
Cheers James!
I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. It's a nice change to see positive news and happenings, and with you smiling through the whole video, you're a joy to watch
Enjoyed seeing that there IS progress for our environment! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 to the dedicated young people, researchers, and organizations who are forging ahead!
❤❤❤Thank you so much for your lovely spread of positive new's.
You are so welcome
babe wake up sam has dropped a new video.
I love my sleep too much I don’t even think I’d wake up for my own video but I appreciate you!
I’m glad I found this channel just now. These days most people who do news seem to only be concerned with the bad things and, while I think understanding some of the bad stuff is important, I’ve long thought that getting an over abundance of stuff that portrays the world as being this horrible place that’s falling apart is bad for one’s mental health. Finding this video here was a nice break. I literally searched “happy news” on TH-cam and this video was the first result. I’ll be sure to keep up with this channel now!
I just shared this with 14 other people, because I think everyone deserves some good news every once in a while. We get so bombarded with stuff that is bad, that you can really loose hope, but this has restored some faith in humanity
Definetly good news today.
Europe and the UK will get a massive heat wave next week, don't you worry my friend lol.
I actually prefer gray weather over summer weather, but that may be me.
IDK, where I live the weather forecast for next week is alternating cloudy-but-dry, with rainstorms.
I also prefer gray weather over a heat wave, but it has been gray and raining here for over 3 months now, even I get itchy to get some sun (and get the bike out).
It’s not just you
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 love all of your environmental good news posts! There is so much good news out there, but all we usually hear is the bad. Your posts are so needed!
🎵 Always look on the bright side of life! 🎵
😅😂
👍
Texas kiddos! SO PROUD!
Let’s go Texas! Don’t mess with Texas!
Thank you for sharing all the good news! We need more kind souls like you ❤
It's so nice to see positivity on TH-cam. I feel like negative content gets pushed so much and it gets exhausting.
Love hearing the positive news
Thanks Ben!
This is hands down the best video on TH-cam.
Sorry the weather there has you down. Hope you have better days.
Here in the southern US I'm grateful for the clouds because they'e a break from the dangerous heat.
Yesterday we went fishing in the bay. That means getting up hours before dawn to get ready ang get launched by daybreak to beat the sun. By 10 am I was weak and dizzy and my hands wouldn't work, even with the iced cooling towels, so we headed back home.
When I was a kid we could stay out all day in the summer. Gaia is sick, and it hurts my heart. We need to help her get better.❤
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.
It’s truly hard to do that curation! I hope this allows your newsfeeds to be a bit better balanced!
Thanks for always making our day Sam 😊
Thanks for being here!
Ever since covid it seems that there is so much bad news, it;s all you ever hear. It can be quite depressing ...so thank you Sam you're a breath of positivity.
I’m always blown away by young people doing research and coming up with incredible ideas before going to university. So smart and innovative ❤
So glad your channel got recommended to me. Had a few conversations with friends recently about how the internet has just become a place for people to complain so to see someone dedicate themselves to discussing the brighter side of life is a real breath of fresh air. Thank you for spreading joy and positivity in a place seemingly so devoid of it. Definitely earned a sub from me!
Thank you for the great video
You're very welcome!
Good news always gives me hope. Ty
I’ll have more coming soon!
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 am so glad I found rhis channel, it’s such a good antidote to so much coverage of negative things happening. I became an immediate subscriber.
I hope it can add a bit of balance to what’s out there!
Thank you Sam!
Thank YOU!
you are making my day!
This truly helps me to calm down and feel so much better about life. We sometimes forget how great humans can be by all the bad going on right now. Thank you so much for spreading all this information!
I'm on the B-corp team at work and every time you release an episode I always bring it up at our next meeting as a bit if positivity amongst the difficulties; thank you!
so nice to hear good news ! Thank you !
You got it Rachael!
completely random!! :3
😆
I need channels like you to help brighten my days up among the channels full of pessimistic analysis and sarcastic jokes that do nothing but dim me down on a daily basis.
All right, good news is what we need everywhere. Here is another one, we are going to grow 20 million trees in mainly deserted Spain by own force. No public funding no donations, enough of ignorant bystanders, enough of hidden interests in governments. We do also restoring the wild life in Sierra Leone which has being eaten by a starving population. Go on guys and share your positive actions no matter size and subject.
