Positive News As you already know, I'm always on the look out for inspiring happenings that I can share on this blog - there is so much good going on across the planet... and every single effort deserves to be celebrated! Those listed below... well, they are special.  -         Brazil has reduced the rate of deforestation by 70% in the last 10 years. It is also rehabilitating degraded land. -         Ethiopia is aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030 – they are investing clean energy, rehabilitation of land, planting trees and sustainable forest management. -          London - a city known as “smoke” and “smog” in the 1950’s because the pollution was so thick it was like being in a cloud of smoke - has become a city with clear, cleaner air enjoyed most days of the year. They accomplished this via many projects including commute investments and a huge reduction of coal power. ...
