I often pass playgrounds with a sense of nostalgia and think, “How wonderful it would be to be a child again and just play.” But play is about much more than fun: it builds courage and supports both physical and mental health. In Wales and Los Angeles, there are even playgrounds for everyone—young and old, and for people with disabilities.
Spain, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Pacific island nations—what do they have in common? They all bring good news. Enjoy reading today’s edition!
6 Good News for the weekend!
This week is all about koalas. On Monday, we shared news about the planned “Great Koala National Park” in New South Wales. Today brings more good news: a new vaccine is set to protect koalas from chlamydia, a disease that can be deadly for them. Nationwide, these highly endangered animals are now being vaccinated to improve their chances of survival.
I just returned from my summer vacation in South Holland. What stayed with me most while cycling through the idyllic landscape were the grazing cows, sheep, and numerous farms. Fittingly, today’s Good News is about Oosterwold, where residents are required to use their own land to grow fruits and vegetables. It doesn’t get any fresher or more local than straight from your own garden!
Good news from Denmark: Tax-free books aim to boost reading.
The airline Qantas was fined 50 million euros for illegal layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Could this ruling set a precedent for similar cases?
Today, we have three positive updates from the U.S.: Americans are drinking less alcohol, the crime rate is falling, and balcony solar panels are booming. A great way to start the new week!
Have a great weekend filled with good news!
