Need more good news? In 1979, oil spills hit a record high with 696,000 tons of oil spilled from tanker ships. Today just 6000 tons are spilled and it’s going down each year.
In 1800, only 10% of humans could read. Today it’s 86% worldwide. That will help people be peaceful, productive, and reduce the chances they are manipulated by strongman regimes.
In 1816, only 1% of the world’s population lived in a democracy. Now 56% get to vote who their leaders will be.
In 1893, only 1 country had equal rights for men and women to vote. Now 193 countries out of 194 do.
There are more and more reasons to be happy about the world we live in, no matter what you hear on the news.
Great perspective. Love the good news!
