Dude, 50.000 dollars for figuring out how to remove microplastics from water ? They deserve millions wtf
Hope they have a royalties clause.
The problem with Texas, acceptable but still Asian-looking, THAT MEANS CHINA! Roll on the orange bandwagon
The funding is provided as a grant to support the winners in furthering their research and education, not to give the funders ownership of the idea so hope that helps clear that up! I agree $50,000 would be crazy low.
@@itsSamBentley No worries brother I know you’re merely passing on information here, it’s always a treat to see your videos :)
Plus I'm pretty sure they would have patent rights
I’m 80 years old and I’m so encouraged by the work you do and the generations coming up who are helping to save our eco system and wildlife. I won’t be on the planet much longer, but I’ll die happy. Bless you for all you do. 👵🏼❤️🙏😇
The next generations are what give me hope too!
Don't worry you won't die
Cheers for you for finding goodness in the world and for caring about the environment.
Just make sure not to vote for anti-eco friendly presidential candidates!
I'm 65 and feel the same way, Barbara! Sam's videos are full of news that's worth watching!😊
Rainy days means no heatwaves, so that is good news too.
This, I feel so, so, SO grateful for the rainy weather here in BC while most of Canada is having a heatwave. I remember the heatdome we had when my toddler was a 6mo baby, it was over 40c inside and we didn't have an air conditioner, on the day over 43c inside we had to go to stay at my grandmother's house because I was legit afraid my baby was in danger. I am sorry for those in Ontario right now. I hope that it galvinizes some people into climate activism to give us more good news!
@@purpleghost106 Same thing in the Yukon. I may live at 64 N, but it still can get well above 35c in the summer.
Spoke too soon :/
And in a heat wave you can say: I mean, i'd rather have it the other way around, but _at least_ it's not rainy and I can cycle to work in the sun
I'm 68 and hoping I live long enough to see the world improve. My biggest concern is that Trump becomes president and reverses all the Green innovations that Biden has started. If you're watching in the USA, please vote blue. 🌊🗳
Trump proves the Confederacy is very much still alive unfortunately
But you would be okay with a senile president and another 8 million illegals? I live in Florida and all the people from the wonderful blue states are getting the hell out of Dodge and coming here. The whole country is unhappy and you say vote blue?? ARE YOU NUTS?
I need to research, everything I see is a claim until proven facts
hey look, the US is just one country and these are issues that'll be more important as things go on. the system will have to change, and if ye fall behind a little bit, at least there'll be a lot of quick technology you can access when the tide shifts again over there.
I see all politics as claim until I prove them as facts
For a lift in mood, there is nothing better than a catch-up with Sam Bentley.
Hope it helped out my friend!
Best mood boosting drug out there
Same! Unique focus on good news, in a time when the world really needs to be reminded we have hope. Thank you Sam Bentley & team ❤
The kids are alright! Believe in our youth but still do your own part. Together we win.
The young people coming through give me a lot of hope but like you said, doesn't mean other generations can sit back.
Amen to believing in our youth. All I see is them being stifled and dismissed as being troublemakers.
Amen.
I never comment on youtube. Ever. But I need these updates and I think more people do. So thank you and let's feed the algorythm.
I appreciate that you mentioned that voting is important. Vote, guys! It really makes a difference.
One of the simplest ways we can make massive change when we come together!
+
Thanks for the nudge. Gonna fill in my postal vote now before I forget again.
The most important thing an individual can do is... to not just be an individual. Vote, join organizations, find ways to stand up and be counted that make sense to you.
Thank you for these videos. These videos make everyone regain hope in humanity month by month!
I hope so too!
These make me lose hope in humanity even more tbh, the good news seem too minor in contrast
@@legitplayin6977make you lose it?
@@ericnyktas639 Hope in humanity, that is.
I do realise the wording was confusing, my apologies
@@legitplayin6977 But that's the trick, don't you know.... All these good changes seem small in comparison to all the bad that's gone before but being small has its benefits: firstly, the Big Bads ignore it *_because_* its small and seems insignificant, which gives the Small time to gain momentum; and secondly, *_never forget that small things grow_* . Small drops of water wore away the Grand Canyon. Small seeds grow into immense redwoods. One individual can start a movement that lasts thousands of years and impacts billions, like Jesus. So don't discount the Small, my friend 🙂
It is such a pleasure to hear and see positive news instead of the bleakness mainstream media presents. Thank you Sam👍
So a while ago I tried looking for a 'good news' item to post up every day for a week from the BBC onto my Facebook site. I failed miserably with just two!
So now I'm sharing this link every month instead. Please keep going Sam - you are reminding us that there are some brilliant humans out there.
I love how you focus on these stories - I think it is really important especially since so much news focuses on negative stories.
Man I need this channel. What a joy! 😊🎉❤
Glad you enjoyed it Phil i'll have more soon!
A great mood lifter when you're sick
Hope you feel better soon my friend!
Once again, thank you so much. I always think, "Meh, it's just a 10- or 12-minute video, what difference could it possibly make?" only to be blown away by the uplift I feel when seeing so many make significant positive changes and innovations in so many places around the world! Thank you for shining a light on all the good news😀!
Thank you for the good news Sam.
Having moved back to the UK last year, after 23 years living closer to the equator, the long months of grey skies have been really depressing. The sun is shining today so there's hope for summer at last.
It’s been terrible hasn’t it?!
If you like sun, it's supposed to be 28 degrees tomorrow in the oxford region 😅
Well there's always october, the true summer of the UK.
So good to see that action is being taken around the globe!
So many amazing people in each corner of the world!
Hail and Well Met, the EU and UK environmental repair/rewild/rehab is there best news on my calendar. We've already geoengineered by accident, to do it deliberately is our only path forward!
Love the good news. We need more positive content. Showcasing how people are trying to make the world better.
I absolutely adore these stories they fill me up with hope, hearing everything everyone is doing to make our world a better place... We love you world, we've got your back xxx
Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity and improving my mental health. You are appreciated ❤
I currently work in air quality and I've been a public health communicator since 2005 - there's a lot of rough news in my line of work, especially around this time of year. I find highlighting good news in this field to be extremely helpful in keeping up morale and being aware of the bigger picture. Please keep up the good work.
Really look forward to these videos now!! Lets push more good news!!
Thank you for these videos sam, i'm in my mid twenties suffering from anxiety and intrusive thoughts and hearing tragedies every day about the state of this world( especially animal suffering) has given me deep pain and sorrow for many years, so much that i see no hope for the future and feel so powerless that i sometimes think it's not worth staying here anymore.
So thank you from the bottom of my heart for reminding me that there are people that care and continue to care.
Hey, thank you for sharing. One of the main reasons I make these videos is to add balance to the onslaught of terrible news that’s thrown at us that is completely overwhelming, so it’s completely understandable to feel anxious or out of control. There are so many people who care and want to make a positive impact though, and their stories aren’t amplified enough, and I hope this can be a reminder of the good out there. Take care of yourself, remember to reach out to your friends and family if you need that extra support here and there and know that you’re not alone 🙏🏼
Thank you for your words, you are kind.
And thank you so much for your work, it is wonderful and it's obvious how much passion, effort and research you put into your videos and editing.
You inspired me to see the good around me.
I hope for you some sunny days.
Thank you from Italy
So glad to hear all the good stories, when the world feels dark its stories like these that remind me there is hope!
You are the only person that help me keep my faith in the human race❤
Aww there’s loads of wonderful people out there, like in this video you can explore their work and keep up to date with progress 💚
Your channel gives me hope for Earth.🎉
I'll keep the vids coming!
@@itsSamBentley ❤️👍
Since you mentioned Portugal - conservation efforts by Portugal and Spain in the last 20 years have seen the iberian lynx population increase 10x, the species has now been moved out of the "at risk" category into the "vulnerable" category :)
Great news👍 Thanks for sharing this.❤️
Yay!!!
I LOVE this channel. I so appreciate the good news. The bad news is still there, but this channel instills hope.
Love when these come out.
Hope they bring some brightness to your day!
Wow! Your videos should be mandatory at every school, starting in early grades up through high school and even college. If young brains can embrace this kind of good news and ideas for a career, instead of what the "regular news" features, our entire society would begin a positive change.
I agree and like that idea!!
Subscribing to this channel was one of the best decisions I've ever made regarding my internet use. It's so easy to get caught in doom scrolling loops, but this actually brings some hope into the world. Thanks for your hard work!
"Perseverance is impossible if we do not permit ourselves to hope." -Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
I went to my first pride event yesterday, and reconnected with an old school friend ^-^ I wish we had clouds here in the Pacific Northwest but it's shaping up to be another drought season. We did get a lovely thunderstorm a few days ago, though. So glad to see that conservation efforts and attempts to reverse climate change are indeed working.
When you said bad news for the uk I freaked for a moment lol
Enjoyed seeing that there IS progress for our environment! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 to the dedicated young people, researchers, and organizations who are forging ahead!
Good to hear the positives-maybe you need a Daily Channel???
Simon you trying to create more work for me one monthly video is hard enough 😂 I wanna do more often tho for sure!
You are such a gift to the world! I am so happy you are here and enjoying all the good news.
I get so happy every time I watch your videos, thank you for sharing! ❤
aww that's amazing haha
Thank you for sharing and the recommendations! 🙌🏻 Grateful for this content.
I think it is super depressing, how almost every good news is something along the lines of "Hey we poisoned nature and now there is some damage repair or relieve"
Love your videos and cheery delivery. Shared with friends and family so they can also enjoy some good news and put a smile on their faces.
Hope your friends and fam enjoy!
babe wake up sam has dropped a new video.
I love my sleep too much I don’t even think I’d wake up for my own video but I appreciate you!
Definetly good news today.
Dang. You know what? I needed this. After a slew and sloppage of bad news by greedy people, it's good to hear that there are millions of people working hard to help the world.
The algorithm brought me here. I don't watch news no matter the content, BUT Good News is a breath of fresh air. So that's why commenting to help your channel go up. People like you and such positive contents need to be popularized and become a normal part of our daily life.
Keep up the good work, and the good words ;)
The sun has come out in time for summer solstice!😊
Yess! Ah I should have times by video with it and posted it then
🎵 Always look on the bright side of life! 🎵
😅😂
I read Silent Spring back in the early 70s. I consider it one of my life changing/life defining books. I'm so glad it is still in print.
appreciate your work!!! May your tribe increase.
Thanks Dibay!
I honestly can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate the good news efforts!! I used to want to create HTV (happy television) to combat all the bad news. Your videos inspire me to get more involved in positive change. Thank you!!
This is your sign to get back into it!
Thank you, I really needed some good news to lift my spirits.
Me and my partner enjoy watching these, we keep a look out for them monthly
Love your uplifting posts! Not sure if I missed it, but did you mention the amazing 'Restore Nature March' in the UK this weekend? Although hardly covered by mainstream media for some reason, over 80,000 people from environmental & wildlife groups marched in a call to save Nature (& hopefully raise awareness for the absolute need for political policies to start seriously tackling the climate crisis). Thank you for all you do in showing us there is still so much hope & positivity in our world 💚💚💚
I just subscribed after your last story... the indigenous group buying acres of ex canefarm wasteland and replanting it in endangered lowland rf species... ❤❤❤ yay!
Ive been a part of a buyback scheme to save the rainforest residential blocks from development.... 30 saved so far and seeing this great initiative from a different group lifted my heart.
I genuinely believe that if these videos were played across mainstream media everyday, the world would completely turn around within a year. These videos make me tear up, because it’s so easy to feel like our world really is collapsing in on itself no matter where you look. Alot of these can even play nice with capitalism because they are either just as, if not less, expensive than current technology and processes.
I have no idea why this appeared in my recommended, but I’m glad it did. It’s very refreshing to see this much positive news for once
I appreciate your efforts putting these together. Keep them coming. This is how the news should be.
Thank you it was a lot of work this month but glad it worked out!
I have an idea for videos Sam. Idk if this fits your style, but you should do seperate videos covering a single environmental problem like light pollution or bad agriculture and then followed by heaps of projects and solutions that are ongoing to fix it in the video!
This helps educate and notify people while spreading positivity!
i am 15 and have struggled with depression since i was around 7 , i recently discovered your videos and they make me feel a bit better ! i hope u do well & continue to spread positivity to others
thank you for spreading hope despite all the grief and pain both in your lives and in the world, i love you all
I’m glad I found this channel just now. These days most people who do news seem to only be concerned with the bad things and, while I think understanding some of the bad stuff is important, I’ve long thought that getting an over abundance of stuff that portrays the world as being this horrible place that’s falling apart is bad for one’s mental health. Finding this video here was a nice break. I literally searched “happy news” on CZcams and this video was the first result. I’ll be sure to keep up with this channel now!
❤❤❤Thank you so much for your lovely spread of positive new's.
You are so welcome
There's more than a glimpse of hope in your videos, there's the perception that there are people who will not fall for the big polluters and big predators lies and will always resist the madness of senseless destruction fuelled by the humongous egos of those involved and their endemic moral and financial corruption. I'm nearing 59 y.o and since I was a child I hear about burning the Amazon forest for pastures. Governments start and finish, people and federal institutions come and go and it never stops. Brazil is a shame! (I'm Brazilian). But we will resist, regardless. Always!. Thank you so much for your videos.
June was a great month for good climate news. Removing microplastic in water, passing a policy to improve air quality in Southern California (I live there though not in the inland empire), a hand-crankable washing machine, and the WWF suing the Norwegian government on deep-sea mining are my favorites. Thank you for sharing these stories.
With all of the negativity the internet has, your channel has really helped me see the good in the world. I really appreciate everything you have done and continue to do. Thank you❤💚
I love watching all this good news about the world, thank you for making these videos!!
Focusing on some solutions instead of on the problems is a much-needed respite from the daily doldrums of modern life.
Thanks for always making our day Sam 😊
Thanks for being here!
Super amazing, I particularly enjoyed the story about the 18 year old who has spent 2 years doing his research! That dedication at such a young age is so admirable, the youth are the future we must support them!
Amongst all the bad stuff put out on the internet, this channel is a beacon of hop and never fails to bring a smile to my face ❤ thank you
Sorry the weather there has you down. Hope you have better days.
Here in the southern US I'm grateful for the clouds because they'e a break from the dangerous heat.
Yesterday we went fishing in the bay. That means getting up hours before dawn to get ready ang get launched by daybreak to beat the sun. By 10 am I was weak and dizzy and my hands wouldn't work, even with the iced cooling towels, so we headed back home.
When I was a kid we could stay out all day in the summer. Gaia is sick, and it hurts my heart. We need to help her get better.❤
Why do half of these feel like reactions to people watching black mirror and going "NOPE NOPE NOPE, We are fixing this RIGHT NOOOWWW!".
Gods, I love these.
I love these! Fav good news for me was hand cranked washing machine! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 thank you!! ❤
Texas kiddos! SO PROUD!
Let’s go Texas! Don’t mess with Texas!
What a great video to wake up to! Also, I took your recommendation and borrowed Dark Waters from the library a month or two ago. It was really good!
I got so hype about the micro plastic removal invention. We already have micro plastics in us and in the food we eat, so I hope this'll help the future generations to be born into a world where micro plastics isn't in their food or lungs
this made me cry, those of us who care are trying and it makes me so happy
They’re really trying! Hope you’re ok ❤️
Always happy to hear about sustainable forward progress!
I’ll have more soon!
Such awesome news Sam thank you. Living in the UK the rain can be gloomy but you have to look for little glimmers in nature, and there is a study out which proves that the scent of rain is calming. keep looking for those silver linings.
Thank you so so much for creating this content.
I've been really struggling lately
With pretty much the only thing I'm holding on to is the hopes to go clean up the trash on Albatross island. It tears at me night and day. And As least this way my life would matter in some way
Just to see there are so so many other who care for the planet in ways that truly matter has given me so much more hope and belief that I, too could make a difference
I can't tell you enough how much seeing this matters to me.
Thank you for making this and thank you to everyone who is doing these things ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the good news.
The weather this week has been pretty sunny in my part of the UK, my cats are certainly enjoying it
You are a ray of sunshine! Please continue your good work.
These are just lovely to watch. A nice way to start my day. I think the wildflower verges are my favourite, just such a simple thing saves money, looks nicer and makes the environment better.
Thank you for making these videos! I shared the news from one of your videos with my students to give them hope and inspiration. Positive change is possible with teamwork, determination, and long-term support. I need these videos to remind me of that, especially when good news like this can be hard to find. Also, I loved the last piece of news; partnering with indigenous communities is one of the best ways (THE best, in my opinion) to heal the land and restore biodiversity
First time meeting you. Took me about 2 minutes to subscribe. This is really meaningful work you are doing for humanity 🙏🏼🕊️
I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. It's a nice change to see positive news and happenings, and with you smiling through the whole video, you're a joy to watch
Please keep making this content! The WORLD needs it!
Hey, did you hear that the Iberian lynx has recovered from being on the brink of extinction? In 2001 there were only 62 adults in Iberia, but as of recently there's now over 2000 of them thanks to conservation efforts, and they are no longer critically endangered! (Still listed as vulnerable, but they made amazing progress)
if my faith in humanity had a thermometer, it had been at freezing, but this video boosted it up to cozier temperatures. Thank you!
I am so glad I found rhis channel, it’s such a good antidote to so much coverage of negative things happening. I became an immediate subscriber.
I hope it can add a bit of balance to what’s out there!
Love how the good news coverage is sooooo global! Great job!
Thanks again for this roundup!! I don't think I got a notification, so I was surprised and excited to see this video!! Such great stories of people who want to make our world a better place and leave this beautiful world better than they found it for generations to come!!
If you don't feel like smiling just don't. But don't force it. Everyone sees through it and gets weirded out a bit
Love hearing the positive news
Thanks Ben!
So appreciate these videos Sam, talk about someone who deserves their own show, so nice to hear some good news. Thank you for these.
It's always a good time to smile 😊
I like how many of the good news stories are about the environment, I needed this during my undergraduate studies in wildlife biology when I would sometimes leave class is despair about how much nature has been changed. Keep the good news going
Thanks for being part of creating positive change for our wildlife!
Citations and links 😊 perfect source sharing! ❤ I love being able to check out the stories myself and learn more, thank you 😁
You’re welcome! Yeah I wanted to use my videos as a resource where people can deep dive more into the topics that connect with them!
You help my severe anxiety so much. Thank you 🥺
Hope they can help add some balance to what’s out there!
Another good book about birds is The Silent Sky by Eckert. About how the passenger pigeon was driven to extinction. Lessons we still haven’t learned.
