The world spent another week on fire. Here are five things that went right anyway.
① A Polish livestream ran nine days straight and raised $76 million for children with cancer, shattering the world record.
② Every morning, she tested the drinking water for poison so her girls could go to school. Happy Mother’s Day to Razia Jan, who never stopped.
③ Researchers surveyed Scotland’s rewilding sites. Bird species up 261 percent. Pollinators up tenfold. The land is coming back.
④ Scientists found a way to turn plastic waste into clean hydrogen fuel using sunlight. The mess we made may help fix the mess we’re in.
⑤ Chile is protecting 150,000 hectares at the southern tip of the world, completing one of the longest wildlife corridors on earth.
