Every other message on here is so depressing (new record of global warming, more animals going extinct, etc.). Just so depressing 😞

You’re right. I’m going to start actively searching out positive stories to post.

I am not saying you are wrong or suggesting that you select other types of news to post. I am just noticing a pattern that confirms how much in trouble we are right now, and I feel any actions to counter it are too little and too late and that is depressing.

On the bright side, everyone can make their own small contribution to make a difference. For example, for people living in a migration corridor, turn off outdoor lighting when not needed to help birds succeed in their migration and to reduce energy waste:

Find something in your area and start making noise about it. Plenty of people care enough to try.

PS - Reducing light pollution will also help fireflies and help preserve night skies. And that's another tool to use: align people with different interests behind common actions, and it benefits everyone.

Thanks for the positive note.

It's why alcoholism is at an all time why. Might as well be drunk if you're going to drown in the Atlantic anyways.
