The news media (and social media) focuses too much on the negative when there's actually plenty of good news out there as well. This is doing real damage to our society as it pushes everyone into panic. Here's one of my favorite antidotes to that: fixthenews.com/

The world’s leading source of good news.

Diseases retreating, forests recovering, solar booming, rights reaching more people. The good news the headlines miss, free in your inbox once a week.
