    We haven't had a Good News Friday in a bit so, surprise! It's on a Thursday! I found this yesterday and honestly don't want to wait until tomorrow to share. Non profit organization 'Urban Rivers' (whose mission is to "transform urban waterways into wildlife sanctuaries") have built a floating wetland on the Chicago River to help detoxify the river from pollution, and help habitats for wildlife flourish! Learn more here https://urbanrivers.org/mission It's a bit of old-ish news but one to highlight I think!

    Happy Good News Friday all! Today's comes from Fleetwood in Lancashire where primary school children have taken part in a pen pal project where they have written letters to some members of the local leisure centre "in the hope of reviving the lost art of letter writing" and bringing two generations together. It's a lovely idea to build community and create connections (two things I know we've been discussing lately on our boards). Have any of you ever had a pen pal?

    Happy Friday all, I'm sure a lot of you have been following the story of little monkey Punch who was rejected by his mother…but there has been positive updates for Punch this week! It looks like Punch is making friends and progress within the group of monkeys at Ichikawa Zoo, yay!

    Happy Friday everyone! I found a brilliant little roundup of some of the most positive news from around the world.

    It includes:

    • Indigenous river defenders are celebrating after winning a David versus Goliath battle against the Brazilian government and corporate giants over plans to industrialise an Amazonian waterway.
    • Ageing in older life is often portrayed as a steady slide towards physical and mental decline – a new study challenges that. Mental decline ‘not inevitable’ with age.
    • Lawmakers in Vietnam have passed legislation regulating artificial intelligence, making it the first country in southeast Asia to place safeguards on the fast-moving technology.  
    • The UK’s green economy grew by 10.2% in the last year, outpacing the nation’s broader economy, which grew by just 1.3% in 2025.  

    And much more! Click the link to learn more: https://www.positive.news/society/good-news-stories-from-week-10-of-2026/
