So I feel like a lot of the news we hear is negative, so I think I will start this thread to share some of the world's more positive news, balance is important I feel.
So to start it off it seems like Tesco (A leading UK supermarket) is doing something ecologically friendly with their leftover food.

Please, anyone else who happens across some positive news, feel free to share here  .

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,
a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

In a world that is driven by technology, this seems like a great scheme to help those who aren't so fortunate to try and stay connected. Hopefully they also provide a place to charge them up!

This struck me...:
Twelve children under the age of two were chosen for a new type of minimally-invasive cataract removal surgery based on LECs (lens epithelial stem cells). Surgeons made 1.5 millimeter-long incisions in both their eyes, and the cloudy lenses were removed as before. This time, care was taken to leave the lens capsules and their LECs intact.
Remarkably, within a month, the incisions were fully healed, and in just three months the children had regrown fully operational, naturally-grown lenses. Their sight was completely restored within eight months, when their new lenses grew back to the size of the original cloudy ones.
Compared to conventional surgery, these 12 children had clearer lenses, far less inflammation, and had a far shorter healing period. Significantly, this surgery was specifically aimed at children: Their LECs are more youthful and far more likely to successfully regenerate a new lens than adult LECs.
"This illustrates that there a can be a new approach. We can turn on our own dormant stem cells," said Kang Zhang, a professor of ophthalmology at the University of California, San Diego and the coordinator of the research, as reported by The Guardian. "Just imagine how powerful this could be if we can do it for heart attacks, or turn on neuronal stem cells in the brain?"

Thanks guys for adding things here . Seems Tesco is not the only one on the ecological front sharing leftover food, Starbucks has joined in as well!

Hopefully other companies will follow suit, seems like a step in the right direction to me.
